Happy Father's Day to fathers everywhere.
May your day be blessed and happy.
Fathers are incredibly important in a young person's life.
Most people can recall things their dads taught them from a very early age.
My own father has been gone for many years. He died in 1989.
He was funny, a hard worker, planter of a gargantuan garden with carrots, corn, squash, and many other veggies, faithful to Almighty God, and tender-hearted.
He also grew many bushes of raspberries that were fat and sweet. They made fabulous jam!
He made a big production of feeding wild birds. He'd chop up things in tiny bites for them to feast on.
I miss my Dad, like everyone who has lost their fathers knows.
Today, we can remember our fathers and be grateful for all the love, generosity, and kindness many gave.
Once a father dies, life is just never again the same.
