OMG!!! I have 4 days to pull it together for Father’s Day. I miss my Dad around this time of year. There is something so comforting about knowing that someone is on your side, wherever, whenever, no matter what. My Dad and I had that going, and I miss it… the way he said, “Hi Babe”, or just knew what was up by the tone of my voice. Even when I tried to fake it during a tough time, he always knew what I was feeling, and that always warmed my heart.
