for tomorrow......Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there. This is a picture of a Christmas when I received a Fisher Price Camper and was just beside myself that Santa actually got it right! The non-matching pants and shirt my Dad is wearing is super stellar and was most likely all the rage back then.

Being from a sailing family, when I was married my Dad rowed me across the lake to the Ceremony. He wore his aged Captain's hat and although the wooden dinghy was leaking slowly, he still took his time and paraded me along in front of the neighbours' docks. He loved his special moment that day, and when Mom met us on the dock to "walk me down the aisle" (up the dock stairs and across the lawn), everything was complete.

Dad, wherever you are I know you are with me when I need you the most. You are missed daily and I thank you for all you taught me in our time together - fun, humor, nonsense, how to enjoy life and the importance of family.
