Day Twenty-Seven of Thanks

Giving Thanks Post Day Twenty-Seven

My Dads

I am very thankful that God gave me the Dad that he did.

I spent so many happy hours with him. : )

His was the kind of Dad that always had time for me.

He loved to drive and we spent many hours going for rides in the car,

and I am thankful for every one.

All those ice cream cones we stopped to eat, I am thankful for

and the times we stopped at a playground somewhere 

so I could swing on the swings.

My Dad and I went for walks together too. : )

My Dad was one of the most patient men I know,

and slow to anger.

For that I am thankful. : )

He told lots of corny father jokes 

but I laughed at all of them.

He died at home with me in 1999

and I'm thankful that the last words

I said to him were,

"I love you Daddy."

In 1970 my Mom married Eddie,

and so I have a step-dad too.

I am so thankful that God blessed me with

not one great Dad but two of them.  : )

Dad has treated me like a daughter

from the time I met him

and for that I am thankful.

He is a kind, caring, and loving Dad.

How thankful I am.

I have been blessed with one more Dad,

my Father-in-law.

How thankful I am to have known him and

to be part of his family.

 What a character he was. : )
He used to tell Ken,
"You got a good woman there."
 I am thankful to him for taking the time to

teach Ken so many things.

I am sad to say he died in 1992.

but he lives on in our memories. : )

I am truly thankful for these three men.

This morning while walking there was a beautiful

sunrise reflection in the little town pond.

Just had to share it.
