Butterfly Kisses


Today we celebrate fathers. I happen to be a very lucky girl who is blessed to have a wonderful dad. A dad who will put up with all my nonsense, listen to me ramble about problems (which are usually not even worth talking about, much less agonizing over), and make sure I am doing okay in the real world. He says taking a moment to watch the Andy Griffith show because clearly that will relax anyone can solve all moments of stress. I am also so grateful to have a dad who I enjoy spending time with. No matter if that is hunting, hanging out at the pool or watching Seinfeld. On days like today where I celebrate and am reminded of how great my dad is, I can’t help but feel for everyone who isn’t as lucky. Or for those who have lost their fathers. I hope that today they were reminded of all the great times with their dad or other men in their lives who have shaped them and made them the person they are today. Being a father and being a dad mean different things. And Jimmy is the best dad I could ask for.

Jimmy and I spent the day together today. It was like many other days in my life, but little things Jimmy taught me will stay with me for a lifetime and have given me the ultimate example of how a man should treat the women in his life.

daddy.


Happy Father’s day Jimmy.
