So as you noticed I have not written in a couple of days. Just been busy with work & life. So technically yesterday was father's day only cause it's now 3:19 am here. Although we lost my dad almost 2 years ago we celebrated it for my brother's at my brother Eric's house. They were awesome and had brunch at their house. My sister in law in I believe 3 months pregnant and she up and running everywhere cooking breakfast. I have to say my brother makes very good omelets. The whole family was there and the kids had a blast playing with each other. It was a change from the rest of the years. Usually we go out to brunch in a hotel or restaurant here in the San Diego area. I haven't been disappointed yet. So in a nut shell it was a good Sunday morning with the family. Now on a different note... I found this poem last year by a women named Tami Blackwell. It of course brought many tears to my eyes but it's a good one...so I will share it with all of you.
Happy Father's Day
Give 'em a hug, a great big kiss. Because one day, he will be greatly missed. My daddy has gone far away from this land, I miss the precious touch of his loving hands. I never knew last year was the last day, I could look at my daddy, hug him, and say: "I love you, Daddy! Happy Father's Day!" Don't let one day go by without telling him how dear he is! Remember you may not have another year to tell him this! All I have now is great memories, a heart full of love and eyes full of tears, and to remember his love throughout the years. Now I will have to look up at the stars and say, "I love you, Daddy! Happy Father's Day!" Please remember when you pray, to thank your heavenly father up above. For your father he gave you with so much love. "He lived, for Jesus died; He died, for Jesus Lives." Now on a happier note...I know probably most of you military wives have heard of an awesome thing called Daddy Dolls. It's a wonderful pillow that you can put your husbands full body picture on it. It is mainly bought for children so they can have their mommy or daddy everywhere they go while they are deployed or just away for a little while. Mind you it does not only have to be for children. Some of you ladies such as myself do not have kids yet that aren't furry (for me anyway lol). You can always buy one just for yourself so you can sleep with him at night. The next best thing since the real one isn't around. They come in 2 different sizes I believe. They recently added a Daddy Doll that is 3 ft tall. They tend to be a bit on the pricey side but from other military spouse I heard they are worth it. Especially for the little ones. I will post the website as well as some pics on here. Which again can be seen at http://www.daddydolls.com They don't only have the dolls they also have other goodies as well. Go check them out! Here are some examples:  This is the "original" size...  And this is the "Big Daddy Doll" I just ordered one myself since we are getting ready for a deployment and I cannot wait to get it. So that's all for now. I hope this idea works for you :)  |
