To say I was blessed growing up is an understatement. Â My Dad was such a good man and someone I looked up to on a daily basis. Â He truly loved his family and always thought of everyone first. Â He was smart, funny, caring, full of great wisdom, nonjudgmental, thoughtful, and so much more. Â He was that one person I could always talk to no matter what was going on in my life. Â
Â
They say that after someone passes, the first experiences you have will always be your hardest. Â With my father passing away last July, we've had many firsts over the last 11 months. Â This is my first Fathers Day without my father here. Â So even though it's bitter sweet, it's also a time for me to reflect on how much he meant to me and be thankful for one of the greatest gifts I've ever had ... my Dad. Â
Â
Whether this is your first Fathers Day, a celebration you enjoy each and every year, or a reflection on someone no longer here, we hope this day brings a moment into your life where you can appreciate that person who wears those shoes for you. Â
Â
Happy Fathers Day, Dad. Â You're truly missed each and every day. Â What an example you set for your children. Â We love you! Â
