My father passed away in January after about a 5 year bout with Alzheimer's. It was difficult to see the strong man who raised me (my parents split when I was 2 and he got custody of me) turn into a shell. That said, I have one daughter who is my world. My dad never got a chance to really know me as a father. I spent a fair amount of time today measuring myself against him and hoping that I can raise my daughter in a way that would make him proud.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there.
I got a plan, we take all your picks we reverse them like one of those twilight zone episodes where everything is the opposite. You say "black" we go white.

I have two friends that have gotten "that knock on the door" that many men wonder about. It turned out great for both of them, but they didn't know they were fathers until the kids were into their thirty's.

I wanted to add, "and never wanted to."

Was never in my plans.

It was 95 and humid in W MI today,
what we call 'stupid hot'. Yet there
are people who live where this is
an everyday thing. I don't get it.

Yikes! I'm guessing it wasn't a water park! Hope the kids appreciated it!

We live 2 1/2 hours from Disney, and we never go in the summer for that very reason. It's bearable by late September, but any time after May, no thanks.

My awesome father passed away Oct. '17. He taught me a lot. I showed him to bet the 6 and the 8. Only got him to a casino twice, but he enjoyed himself.

I was fortunate to spend the morning at a "Me and My Guy" Girl Scout camp with my 6 year old daughter, and the rest of the afternoon with her, and my 9 year old son. It is always a great time on this day, just as it is every day.
