Father’s Day 2022

“Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventures, storytellers and singers of song.” -Pam Brown Happy Father’s Day to this guy! Life is better because of you. Thank you for taking on this crazy adventure of parenthood with me. You put me at peace knowing I’m not alone in this crazy life. These kids will never need, (but always want) and never know what it feels like to not be loved, supported and cheered for. Today was your day, but just like everyday, you still showed up for everyone else. We love you to the furthest moon and back again. Xoxo

I once heard someone say,

If you don't change you do not grow,

But I waved the thought away,

For who were you to think they know,

I'd always stayed the same,

A heart that thrived within the cold,

And I had no desire to change,

At least that's what I had been told,

But deep within my mind,

A thought grew slowly, bit by bit,

Until I felt trapped in my skin,

For it no longer seemed to fit,

There's a whole world sitting out there,

Changing every single day,

That proves it's nothing to be scared of,

If you do it the right way,

For a day afraid to turn to night,

Will miss the silver moon,

And a flower that refuses to change,

Will never get to bloom,

I had thought I was a thorn bush,

Only good for snagging clothes,

But if you do not dare to change,

You'll never find out you're a rose.
