Father's Day was yesterday and it is a very hard time of year for Rod...even though you will never hear him speak of it. It has now been 8 years since Rod's Dad passed away. Don was one of the men who has made Rod who he is as a dad. He has lived on to be exactly or better than what Don would have hoped he would be as a dad. It doesn't take much to be a father...but it takes a lot to be a dad :)
Rod and I started dating almost 1 year to the date after Don passed away...even though we lived right next door to each other...we didn't talk until I finally had the guts to get his number ;) He is my world and I know just from the reaction that the kids give him when he gets home that he is theirs too :)
The kids got Rod a new Char-broil Infared Grill for his father's day present. We let him pick it out because I wanted to make sure he would like it :) I even got him a better price...I loved the fact that we got to spend the whole day with Rod. It doesn't happen as much as he would like. But hopefully after we sell our old house we will be able to make it happen more frequent ;) Yesterday we went to town and took Amanda's old crib, bassinet and changing table to some friends so they can use it for their new baby. Then we went to Lowe's picked up the grill, Sam's and got a mattress and then went to mom and dad's and got my old bed. Came back did some swimming after we got Amanda's "new" bed together and her room situated and then went out to visit Rod's Father for Father's Day. Spent some time back at the camper eating hot dogs and grilling smores.
Much love to all of the Father's and Dad's out there...be the better of the 2 ;)
