“I love my father as the stars – he’s a bright shining example and a happy twinkling in my heart.” ~Terri Guillemets

Dad tomorrow is father’s day and it is still hard for me to believe that you are gone. I feel your presence every day and your gentle spirit remains in my heart. I will always carry you there and in my loving memories. Know that I will continue to live my life making you proud and to carry the lessons you taught me out into the world. I feel very grateful to have walked beside you in life and to have had you as my father.

“Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad.” ~Author Unknown

I am thankful for your continued presence in my life, Happy Dad’s Day! Know that you will never be forgotten.

“Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later… that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life.” ~Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities
