Happy Fathers Day

My dad is not like any other dad. Growing up my dad was the one to comfort me when a boy broke my heart (which happened too many times). He has been there to help me at a moments notice when my car has died, when something in the house has broken or other random problems I have.




I think no matter how old I get I will always need my dad.

Happy fathers day to my dad!

My Grandpa, who passed away 8 years ago also deserves a mention. I loved him a lot. His death was hard for me because I was his "pumpkin", Grandpa's girl. He was there for me too when I needed him. I recall one night when I still lived with my parents I came home from WCC late. I got on the phone and heard a knock on the door. I said "who is it?" and got no response. The knocking continued and it scared me to death. I hung up with my friend and called my grandpa. My grandpa and uncle Dave were there in less than a minute with flashlights and ready to kick some ass. They walked around the house and never found anyone but I think about that and how quickly they came to help me. I have been lucky to have a close family, to have a dad and grandpa who love me so much.

Happy fathers day!
