I can just see D taking his B about in this - or perhaps B doing the same for D! HEE

Happy Pappy Day

Ode to my pops:  you do the best pancake dance.  Have the best xmas bed-head hair and beach blown hair.  You make a mean lasagna, lemon pie and yum johnny cakes (if he makes you this - you know you are in his denys-club - it is an honor).  You work hard. You give back to your community and love to be apart of it (did this in your job as well).  You have a big heart.  You love people and prize making a difference.  I love how you eat and lay on the floor afterward (thanksgiving).  I love how one father's day you drank the coffee me and the sista's made you with floating grounds in it (we were in elementary school....attempting breakfast in bed).  I love how you adventure and drive anything you can (planes, trucks, boats, moto's.....). I love your sense of humor.  Your humble-ness.  Your rascally spirit. I think your devotion to your  mother was something to behold.  She loved you big and you loved her back big.  You did your best in a challenging marriage and found love again when the timing was right.  You risked starting over again and it's paid off with dear B.  You write the best from the heart letters and tell me that you love me.  That I have never doubted.  Thanks for being my pops.  You've been there for me in your way through the years and I thank you for your patience and your love.   Thanks pop.  I love you.

three cheers to all the papa's I know (and don't know) near and far:  shout out to R on his first Father's Day and always to Shwanny with his family circus.  I also send a special message of love to my dear huzzy: we may never get the chance to be parents ....and this is bittersweet and we are doing are best to navigate that land-o-feelings....but I married a man who would be an amazing Pops.  You can spread that lovin' to all those kids we know.  It may not be the same, but know it will make a difference.  Love begets love.  Love DOES make the world go round.  It is what life is all about.  So Huzz, happy father's day to you too.  Now, go hug your poppa's and  your honeys!
