As many of you know yesterday was Father's Day. This is a tough holiday with mixed feelings for me. I do not know who my father is all I know is his name. I didn't find out his name until after my mother passed away in 2007. I did not have a father figure growing up and all I wished for was a father for my children. I have truly been blessed to have found a wonderful man my children call dad. He has been there for me since day one and has been loving, giving father I dreamed of having as a little girl. I am so thankful for him and I am so glad that my wish came true. I feel that my daughters have something I didnt and that's all I wanted for them.
I have mixed feelings because someone that I hold near and dear to my heart passed away at a young age on fathers day. I am always a little sad on this day and I take a second to think of her and tell her she is missed and still loved. In her honor I took the first to letters of her name and put them at the beginning of my daughters middle name. I did not want to name my daughter after her so I thought that was a great way to remember her.
I hope all of the Fathers out there and the mothers who play double duty enjoyed their day! I know my husband enjoyed his day!
