Tomorrow is Father's Day.  It's is so hard to believe that June is half over already.  It seems like last month was just Christmas.  It will be Christmas in just a minute.
  I was thinking of the "Dads" in my life: Ricky, Mr. Rick and my dad.  Mr. Rick is an awesome dad.  He is one of the most clever people I know.  He loves his children, grandchildren and children in-law.  I think he is a very wise man and he is a good example to his son on how to be a great dad.

 Ricky is a great dad also.Our kids still think that the sun rises and sets on him and that he can fix anything that is wrong all they have to do is say "Daddy......................." He is the problem fixer.  They just don't know that I am the one telling him how to to do the fixing ;)  I couldn't have asked GOD for a better father for my children. 

  My dad is another story.  Our relationship has been very strained but it is slowly getting better.  I am working on my issues with my dad and I am trying to have a better relationship with him.  I love my dad and I think that deep down he loves me and my sisters.

  I was trying to figure out what I was going to get my father for Father's Day and couldn't really come up with anything.  So last night I decided to go pick him up from the Oaks and bring him to my house for a little while.  I called the nursing home and told the nurse to tell him that I would be picking him at 11:30 and he needed to be ready.  I didn't talk directly to him because I didn't want to give him the chance to come up with an excuse for not coming with me.  When I got there, I was cocked and loaded for an argument.  But when I entered his room the first words to me were "Are you ready".  I told him I was and he got in his wheelchair and we came to the house.  We stopped at McDonald's and got lunch and came home and ate.  We had a very good visit.  This was the first time that he had been to my new house.  He seemed to really enjoy his visit.  Jessi came over and she rode with us back to the Oaks.  Of course we had to stop at Brown's for peach ice cream.  I told Daddy that this was his Father's day present and he seemed really happy with it.
  So I hope all my dads have a great Fathers Day
