Hooray for Dad's

I have to admit Father's Day was busy for me so I was unable to post because it was actually my daughter's birthday as well.  Needless to say my family was in celebration mode, however I didn't want this month to pass without acknowledging the tremendous way my Dad influenced my life.  My Dad has shown great strength and ignited my love for knowledge, art, and creativity.  I love him dearly and am so glad that he and I have always been kindred spirits.  He has encouraged my mother to pursue her dreams as well as his offspring.  We are so blessed to know him and even now when I call home, he gives me spiritual guidance and a joke or two of course.  Father's are a vital part of any community.  Though, I said it on Father's Day to everyone I came across...thanks to all the Dad's around the world for making a difference in their families...and especially to mine!
