Fathers

This Father's Day I'm reminded of how important a father's role is in the life of a child. He's the man they look up to, the man they want to be like. The man they go to for comfort, and the man who knows how to be silly.

When I remember my step-father, the man who raised me from a very young age, I remember his voice, when he shared his never ending wisdom. I remember his arms, when he hugged me when I was sad, and mostly I remember his laughter, he was just so darn funny - we laughed together often. I'm so glad he was part of my life, to have given me such fond memories, and to know how important dads are. 

My ebook, Your Father's Love, is free this week on Amazon, in honor of all dads and their children. It is my hope that the children can see their own dads in the pages, and come away knowing how much they are loved by him.

Happy Father's Day - to all the dads

For Dad... update

Back in June of 2011, I posted a poem I wrote in honor of my Dad after he passed away in 2004. I had posted a version of the poem, written in the present tense for Father's Day.

However, I have gotten some requests to offer the original version, written in the past tense, so that other people may also use it, in order to honor their own Dads, who have also passed away.

It is an honor to post the original poem that I wrote for my Dad and read at his funeral. I'm sure he would also be honored, if it could be helpful to others. Although I wrote it with my own Dad in mind, I believe it is general enough in content, for any loving Father.

For Dad...

My step father, Gary Aitken, was one of the greatest men I have ever known. He passed away seven years ago, but left behind wonderful memories and lots of love. This poem was written in honor of him. I hope it can be passed along to all the wonderful Dads out there! Happy Father's Day!

An inspirational poem for your Dad, comes on many gifts. The picture will take you to gift shop.
