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! 🙂
