Father's Day Celebration

Today was a day to celebrate being and having a Dad. Sometimes we do not always agree with our fathers and at times we might even feel like we can never quite gain their recognition. The thing we have to realize is we would not be here on this earth living our lives without our Dad's. So, no matter what happens or has transpired in the past, it does not really matter, because we have our own minds and limitless potential . Even if your idea of the perfect father is not what you've inherited in your reality, make the best of him and what he has given you. My father and I do not always see eye-to-eye on every subject and life situation, but that is because of what he gave me...a mind to call my own. The irony is, the very part of his personality that drives me to the brink of emotional exhaustion is precisely the trait I inherited....the stubborn, don't tell me what to do, I can and will figure it out for myself-trait. Yup! Him = Me. What more can I say except Happy Father's Day, Dad. Lots of love from the apple that does't fall far from the tree. The man standing to the right of my father is my 92 year old grand-father...that is where the strong will originated. For that I am grateful. I feel very blessed to have these men in my life despite the transient challenges being part this gene pool renders. As you can see, the old guy and the oldest guy not only act like one in the same, the physical resemblence is uncanny as well.
