I'm going to try and keep a long story on the short side here, LOL,,but it's hard for me to show this card without telling the story,,,,,
I lost my father nearly 20 years ago. I loved him more than he could possibly imagine. He was an amazing father,,,,,,
mostly because he WASN'T my father,,,,,,,at least not my biological father. He was my step-father and he married my mother when I was 5 years old. You'd never know it,,unless you KNEW it. From the first day he married my mother, he was DAD. And that was that,,,,,,,,,My mother and he later had 2 more children,,,,,,but my sister and I were always every bit as much his as they were.
He wasn't perfect,,,,,,,,,but even in his imperfections,,,,he was amazing. He had a drinking problem,,,,,,for years. He was never mean, or nasty,,,,,,,,,,but he ruined many family holidays falling asleep over the thanksgiving turkey.
When I was about 15, he went and got sober,,,,,,,,and although I know it was a great effort for him, he never drank again. Someone who realizes what's wrong about himself and goes and CHANGES it is someone I can love and respect.
And so Dad,,,,,,,I love you and miss you so much.
And every year when I make a Father's Day card for my husband,,,,,,,,,I wish I could make him one.
So this year, I just gave into the temptation, and made my father a Father's Day card,,,,,,,,
It's simple,,,,,,like he was. He was a man of few words, but much love.
So without further ado,,,,,,,,,my card for my Daddy.
And the inside that says all I wanted to say,,,,,,,,,,,or wished I could say,,,,,,,,,
Happy Father's Day, Daddy,,,,,,,,,you were an amazing father and an amazing human being.
Thank you all for looking, and I hope you liked the card,,,,,,,,,so run right over to SCH and upload YOUR Father's Day project or card!!!!!
