Today was a typical Father's Day for me. I called my dad and wished him a happy father's day while wishing I was there to give him a hug. A phone call will have to do this year. Later I called my brother, who is celebrating his first father's day. I'm sure his little girl made it a special one.
I had the greatest dad growing up. I'm sure that's what everyone says, but in my case, it's actually true. I remember my dad was the one who would read me bedtime stories and get rid of attacking insects when I was little. He's the one who learned how to play tennis so that I would have someone to play with. He's the one who risked whiplash as he patiently taught me how to drive a stick shift in the school parking lot. There are too many memories to pick a favorite and I'm lucky enough to still be adding more.
When I see my brother with his little girl, I think about all the memories they are making together, and I can't help but smile.
To all the fathers and soon-to-be fathers, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
