My hero

I wrote this morning's 100 words about my dad and learned that 100 words just isn't enough to describe how much he means to me:

 

I've always been a Daddy's Girl. I remember following him around outside, talking a blue streak and copying whatever he did. Soon after my sister was born, my mom captured a photograph I'll always treasure. It shows a three-year-old me, sitting in a little red rocking chair placed in front of the green chair my father is sitting in. He's holding my baby sister and feeding her from a bottle, and I'm mimicking him, cradling my favorite baby doll and using a tiny white bottle to feed her. Even then he was my hero. Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

To all the fathers...

Happy Father's Day! Enjoy your children; they grow up too fast...

Walk a Little Slower, Daddy

For My Daddy

"Walk a little slower, Daddy,"

said a child so small.

"I'm following in your footsteps,

and I don't want to fall.

"Sometimes your steps are very fast.

Sometimes they're hard to see.

So walk a little slower, Daddy,

for you are leading me.

"Someday when I'm all grown up,

you're what I want to be;

then I will have a little child

who'll want to follow me.

"And I would want to lead just right

and know that I was true,

so walk a little slower, Daddy,

for I must follow you."

(I've loved this poem since I discovered it while searching for Father's Day crafts the year my first child was born. I wish I knew who wrote it.)

Today's 100 words:

 

The kids and I have been making crafts to give to Daddy on Father's Day. Yesterday we built Popsicle stick creations and imagined what Daddy could use them for. Today we'll be painting mugs and drawing pictures, and Sunday, we'll make cookies. I love doing these things with the kids, although I'll admit that my patience is sometimes lacking. The memories are precious, though, as are these gifts that truly come from their hearts. Daddy always buys me nice things for Mother's Day, but I can't help but wish instead for these cherished gifts made with little hands and love.
