"I love my father as the stars - he's a bright shining example and a happy twinkling in my heart." ~Terri Guillemets
As Father's Day approaches I find myself thinking a lot about my beautiful Dad. When I was a child he always worked a lot but I have heaps of fond memories of fun we had and some funny things he used to do. He would drive us all crazy whenever we had to be somewhere. Whether it was to go and visit friends or go out for dinner he was always running late. We would be all ready and waiting for him and he would race in, straight past us, and 10 minutes later come flying back past us and say, "Come on. Are you ready?" as if he was waiting for us! He always liked visiting friends and I loved going too. Mainly because I knew we would be going past the takeaway shop and he would pull in and ask, "Who wants an icecream?". I would almost will him to stop on the way past ;-)
Dad has always been really supportive of everything I have done even if he hasn't agreed. He is always there. When I was younger I was involved in Little Athletics and he would always come and watch me. Then when it was time to go home I would jump in the back of his little tip truck and stand up all the way home with the wind blowing in my hair. It's mind boggling really cos there's NO WAY I would let my kids do that LOL.
When I was let out of boarding school for weekend leave Dad would always make the 2 hour drive on Sunday night to take me back to school. Like me, he loves to sing out loud and we would belt it out to Mary Schneider and her yodelling!! Now THAT makes me laugh!!!
So Dad, thanks for being here in my life. For EVERYTHING you do for me. Even now at 73 yrs old you do the most amazing things....like moving heavy furniture for example. Nothing is too much trouble. I love you very very much xxx
