As most of you know my Dad’s stroke has presented us all with a few challenges over the past few months but despite losing the use of his right arm and subsequently his independence, he has borne this with a shedload of humour and good grace. We’re luckier than most but who knows what’s around the corner and we hope that he will eventually make a full recovery. So today on Father’s Day I want to say a silent prayer of thanks for my Dad and all the millions of great fathers out there who whose love and guidance have provided us all with a solid foundation that has enabled us to take on the world.
Dads, are mostly ordinary men turned into heroes, adventurers, storytellers & singer of songs – Pam Brown

No end to my considerate gestures, I even put the parasol up for him in the garden (a bit of wishful thinking I fear)!

Now that brought a smile to his face more than even the prospect of going to the garden centre for slug pellets

Happy belated Father’s Day to your father. On June 15th, I was still recovering (and still am) from my computer meltdown. I had to get a new computer and still have figured out how to use Windows 8.1. This is when having a cell phone as backup comes in handy. I am so very happy to be back.
Father’s day is a very special day for me. My father passed about 3 years ago. He left me with such good memories. I am grateful for his compassion, encouragement, wisdom and courage. He continues to inspire the best in me.
