Dads Rule!

It’s Father’s Day, and we are fatherless at Chez mimi. DH is on his way home from the great non-frozen North (he was quite put out at the lack of cool temperatures during his Canadian sojourn), but alas, he is not yet home. We did speak on the phone, so that’s good.

I also had a nice chat with my own Daddy. From him, I have inherited a love of reading, a penchant for debate (that’s putting it mildly), and gray hair. Lots of gray hair. He’s a real Southern dad, the kind who knows his way around a grill and a good beer, can tell a joke properly, entertain an audience with stories, and show off good manners and a fine education (Davidson College, thank you very much–he’s a Carolina boy). Plus, he reads a mean Dr. Seuss’s Sleep Book.

I have been twice blessed. I have a great Dad, and I married a man who’s a great dad, too. My kids are lucky. Too bad so many kids will go to bed tonight not being able to say the same.
