Father’s day’s have come and gone without too much fanfare, but today was different. It is just not a day that I’m fussed about, so I’m not really worried if anyone else makes a fuss about it or not. Yet, for some reason when I got out of bed this morning, and the first thing Grace said to me was, “Happy Father’s day, daddy,” and then later she said, “Today I really love you,” and then she brought out all the cards she and Donné had made, and gave me the gift Donné got for me, I just felt really loved, and special, and cared for. I love my family and I am blessed to have them. Thank you for making today special.

And thank you dad, for loving me. I love you dad.
