for many today is filled with creative facebook or instagram posts containing their favorite picture of themselves with their father. for others today is difficult as they feel the pain of not having a strong relationship with their father. as for myself, today is bittersweet.
i am so grateful for my father. though imperfect, he loved me. he was an example of one who gave his whole self to whatever he was engaged in. he taught me so many things and i truly feel blessed to have had him in my life. but i miss him so much. and on days like today it is painful to be reminded of all the experiences i didn't and won't get to have with him.
although i feel those things others proclaim on facebook, i chose a different route this father's day. this year called for: a private chat between myself, my dad and my heavenly father, some tears and finished off with a little chicago.
i keep this record to remind myself that it's ok to be sad. in fact, the sad helps me know i love him. and loving someone is a great blessing.
dad, i love you and miss you.
