Fatherless Daughters

This is the second father's day that my daughters are without their father. It hurts my heart.

One of the traits that I loved the most about DT was the way he nurtured, taught, and loved his daughters. He was an absolutely amazing father. His style of parenting makes me laugh to think back on. There was always an explanation and reason why. He was tough and soft. He was strick and lenient. The girls could always have a voice, but they better not cross the invisible line where he'd had enough…then it was on.

I’ll never forget the impromptu family meeting in the kitchen where he demonstrated step by step how to close the bread bag. It was an ordinary afternoon when he found that bag of bread with air in it. IMMEDIATE lesson. So that when it happened again no one could say they didnt know. 😂

I don’t know if that is normal father behavior, I grew up without a father in the house. Which makes it even sadder that my girls now have that same void.

They were fortunate to grow up with one of the realest. I hope that always have stories of how amazing he was 💖

Sending a heartfelt Happy Father's Day to all the fathers in heaven.
