Happy Father’s Day!
Today, my husband and I watched several videos of military men and women coming home after a tour of duty, and I couldn’t help but cry. Father’s day isn’t the only day to appreciate men (and women) who risk their lives to make us safe. Daily, we ought to appreciate the men in our lives, for their devotion, love, and care.
My son made the day worthwhile by giving my husband a hand-made card with this beautiful poem. With his permission, you can read it below:
When I scratched my knee,
Or if I bumped my head,
When I was afraid of the dark,
Or that thing under my bed.
When I cried that night,
Or even in the day,
You were there for me
To make it okay!

His dad had a huge grin on his face and they hugged tightly. I kind of missed my dad, but I was privileged to have enjoyed almost forty years with him. To all fathers worldwide, whether you’re serving in the military, or serving to put food on the table for your family, I wish you all a Happy Father’s day!
Here’s a very heart-warming video of serving military men returning home, I wonder if you’ll shed a tear! 🙂
To the men… You Rock!!
Have a great week my friends! Please keep safe!
Much love, always! 🙂

Putting a smile on my face as usual, you are very consistent like that my friend. It must be a bittersweet day, what with your dad’s recent passing but you have the bestest memories and I’m sure he would be well happy to have a mention in your post as well.
Have a great week yourself my friend and I dropped that list into your inbox as well…I forgot to mention that before…enjoy!
I’m so glad that I always put a smile on your face! 🙂
Today was a bit emotional, but that’s okay because I love the memories of my dad and our times together. I appreciate your visit dear friend!
Cheers.
That is a lovely poem, dads are wonderful!
That’s right Ute, dads are wonderful! Appreciate your stopping by!
Very touching video. Here in the states we celebrate fathers. We have a separate holiday for the military. You son’s poem is beautiful he did an excellent job.
Thanks Kim! Glad to know that you appreciate the military in the states. Here in the UK we don’t actually set aside an holiday for them except for the ones who lost their lives in world wars. I’ll tell my son you like his poem. Have a great week my friend!
Blessings.
You have a great week too.
Lovely! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks for reading!
Cheers. 🙂
What a way to start a day! Wet eyes, runny nose, sniffling voice. Seyi,how can you do this to me???
I’m sorry honey, I was like that yesterday too, it was such a moving video, glad you liked it! Brighten up now and smile for your sweet friend!

Watching the video was a great way to start the week, knowing the sacrifice of others so we can live in relative peace, lovely post Seyi! Knew you would miss your dad, just hug the memories you two shared…
You always know how to bring out the best in people! Have a great week!!!
