Father’s day has been bittersweet for me since I was a young adult. My father died from an aneurysm when I was twenty – he was way too young. I still miss him and I wish my husband and sons could have met him.
But when I had my own children, Father’s Day became a sweet celebration. It is special to celebrate my husband, who is a good, kind and loving father to our children.
And now, our two sons are fathers and we celebrate them!
Happy Father’s Day!
Sing praises to God and to his name!
Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds.
His name is the Lord—
rejoice in his presence!
Father to the fatherless, defender of widows—
this is God, whose dwelling is holy. Psalm 68: 4-5
simply beautiful. i’m sorry you lost your dad at such a young age.
Thanks Audrey.
Valerie, Like you I lost my dad way too soon. Now Father’s Day is a celebration of what good fathers my son and son-in-law are.
I’m glad you can celebrate your son and son-in-law too.
