Father's Day

Father's day was yesterday and it was bittersweet. My father and father-in-law have gone on to be with the Lord. Both were very dear to me.

Michael, my dear husband, was stuck in Boston for the weekend. we only have 2 children at home, Joshua & Ruthanne, both in school (does the BIG school count?). David's iback in Okinawa now.

He called about 9:30 in the morning which translate to 11:30 at night for him. He still had 30 minutes and he wanted to wish his dad a Happy Father's day - so we quickly made a 3-way call. That was Michael's second Happy Father's Day wish (his sister called him a few days early). Joshua & Ruthanne quickly got on the phone also. While Mike will have to wait on his gifts until he gets home, I know that these calls mean a lot to him.

Ruthanne has said that one of her heroes is her daddy because he can fix just about anything!

The children aren't small anymore, and neither are we, but do we ever outgrow the thought that there's nothing our father's can't fix? And so I supposed that's what we are to remember about our heavenly Father - He can fix it all.
