MY DAD RUDY & MY DAUGHTER LAURENIt is Fathers day today. I got a chance to spend time with my own father today. :) We had a nice big dinner (Southern Dinner) and then father fell asleep in his recliner and snored through all of Ghost Rider, which is fine with me I wasn't that impressed with the damn movie to begin with.
I started to think of my own role as a parent and how we are no longer "just" ourselves when we assume the responsibility of another human being. This is not the case with everyone unfortunately. But, for the good parents out there it is often said that their heart grew bigger the day that their children were born.
Now, my own father had personal struggles along the way but no one is perfect. Dad got it right in the end and that is all that matters.
On a sad note. I have a friend whom I have never met personally. She lost her father earlier in the year. This was her first year without her dad. My heart goes out to her today. My friend knew what she had before she lost him. She painfully watched him die and sat by his side. Most of the time though we never know what we have until it is too late.
I am glad that even though my own dad and I had a rocky start we have grown to love and appreciate one another. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have my dad.
I hope your day was special and you were able to spend it with the man that you love.
Much Love to you.
