~Father's Day greetings to the Engel Dads ~
Dear Dad,
I'm beginning to think that some people appreciate my sense of humour, and I believe I have you to thank for it. Otherwise, I cannot explain my tendencies towards sarcasm, cynicism, offensiveness - but only when it's directed at the truly offensive, and self effacement - though certainly never justified. Thank you for passing the humour gene onto me, dad. It helps.
You are nothing if not resilient! May the excitement of recent times subside, so you can move towards full recovery and healthier days.
Dear Jonathan,
You are a natural at being a great dad. I'm proud of you, baby bro. In case it wasn't crystal clear by now, you are dad to my favorite kid in the universe. You picked a great life partner too.
Thanks for all you've been doing to support dad through the rough patches.
Happy Father's Day, Dad and Jonathan!
Enjoy Engel family time.
With love,
xoRobyn

Very sweet. Everyday on this day I lament that I am not a father myelf. Not my destiny I guess. But I think I would have been great at it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, R. I got to talk to my dad today for a long time and I sent him a card prior. I hate that they live as far away as they do.
ReplyDeleteOne day I hope to be the one being said Happy Father's Day as well as being the one who says it.
Thanks Cal and Geoff.
ReplyDeleteVirtual hugs,
Robyn
