Father's Day

My Dad passed away when I was 13. I have some memories since I was older but I don't have any memories of Father's Day. The only perspective I have on Father's Day is from my children with their Father or as the wife to the Father in Law. My kids and I are taking my son in law my husband and hopefully my father in law to Red Lobster to eat on Sunday and the girls are making their Dad a cake (golf themed of course). Did my Dad like seafood? I know he liked catfish, I remember him catching and cleaning a lot of them.
My dad loved to go fishing and camping. I mean loved it. He died while out at the lake fishing. I wish I had known him better been able to have a relationship as an adult with him. My life would have been a lot different, better/ worse who knows. I know different for sure.
I watch my husband with our kids. I don't always agree with how he does things but I know that he loves them and he is a great father. A lot more hands on than any other man I know. I hope that our children know him as a person not just a Daddy.

• I am an orphan and I don't deal well with that. Every time I see a little old lady I want to take her home. It's like seeing a puppy or a kitten. "aww I want one of those. " I miss my Mom terribly.
• The word orphan conjures up images of young children without parents, I am not really young.

Dog Days of Summer

Baby my pomeranian, she was 15 years old.

• My husband is a good husband. I am glad I can say that.


• Does anyone have a 12 yeard old boy they arent threatening to kill?


• Do I want to adopt a dog or not, I am really in a debate with myself over this. I had a dog had to put her to sleep earlier this year. But until her I had never been a dog person but I miss that connection. Would I have that connection with any other dog? Am I a one dog person? ugh


• My husband has an Olde English Bulldog, bless her heart she just never looks happy. I think she is misunderstood, she looks mean but she is afraid of everything.

Random thoughts

• I am thinking about starting a family reunion for my Dad's side of the family. I am also thinking this could be overwhelming, stressful and maybe not the smartest thing I have thought of doing.

• Having children and grandchildren and or just getting older and losing my parents, something is making me what that connection. Maybe a combination of all.
