Happy 59th Father's Day Dad
DadEvery year as I understand more about life...
As I learn more about myself,
As I see more of the world around me...
I realize, and I am grateful for, what a great Dad I've always had in you.
Happy Father's Day,
Love, your son, Ricky
My hubby's dad is 83. He asked me to make his dad a card for Father's Day this year, wishing him a Happy 59th Father's Day. He said he didn't know why he started thinking about how many Father's Days his Dad had celebrated, but when he realized it was 59, he was in awe. So I made the above card for my Father-In-Law from his second son; my husband, Ricky.
I was at a service today where the question was asked "What makes a giant out of a man?". Obviously Ricky and his dad know the answer.

Dixie girl..this is so sweet, it made me cry.
ReplyDeleteIt also made ME realize that my husband will have his 45th Father's Day this year. GOOD GRIEF!!
Dixie, I'm so glad you reposted this. I missed it before. So much attention is paid to Mother's that some kids forget the importance of their Fathers.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a sweet tribute.

ReplyDeleteDixie, that is so sweet it makes me want to cry (in a good way). I'm glad you did this, and your FIL no doubt was very grateful for it. What a sweet card! Happy 60th Father's Day to your sweet FIL. I wish my dad and my FIL were still with us.
