Like the President I also grew up without a father around. Which is why I take my role as Dad very seriously.
In fact for Father's Day today my daughter is expressing her love for me by allowing me to clean that stain out of the carpet in front of her bedroom door, rinse off her dishes because she overestimates the cleaning power of the dishwasher, and buy her dinner later on tonight because she is in between paychecks again.
She shouldn't have.
But you know I love her, and I love having her living with me.
Well, today at least.

Happy Father's Day Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteI could never understand why men wanted to father children and then disappear. The wild stallion outside does a better job.
ReplyDeleteHappy Father's Day everyone.
Happy Father's Day, Gryph!
ReplyDeleteLooks like your stars are aligned. Life is good!
Happy Father's Day to Jesse and IM readers!
ReplyDeleteI'll be at the Redbirds game this afternoon saluting each of you multiple times with a cold adult beverage in hand. It's gonna be a beautiful day!
Happy Father's Day, Gryphen. It's easy to be a father, harder to be a dad.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fathers' Day, Gryphen! How I miss mine. I truly envy your daughter.

ReplyDeleteHappy Father's Day, Gryphen and all the IM men who've taken the time to mentor or make a difference in any child. I was lucky to have a great one and when I miss him a lot.
