As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps, I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with, My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow.
Happy Father's Day!

“What I’ve realized is that life doesn’t count for much unless you’re willing to do your small part to leave our children — all of our children — a better world. Any fool can have a child. That doesn’t make you a father. It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.” ― Barack Obama, 2008

Daddies, the men who get up everyday and try to make a difference in the lives of their kids. Their success is measured years after they perform the job consistently for years. Along the way, there are fun and hardships, but no guarantees. For that reason, we thank them on this day.
Let's Hear it For the Daddies
We thank them for having the courage to keep getting up and doing the hard, painstaking work every day. We thank them for making sacrifices, changing diapers, and drying tears. We thank them for striving when its tiring and loving when they might not feel like it--like when the kid accidentally kicks them in the nuts, spits in their faces, or ruins their favorite something.
Daddies do all of this and more. Several years ago, I wrote an ode to the daddies. Here's a link to that post. And to all those daddies out there, like my dad, my uncles, my father-in-law, and my husband, I salute you!
