June is such a vibrant month where weddings are frequent and fathers are celebrated for being the great dads that they are. Babies are born and they give us a new understanding of why our parents worry about us so much. For some June is a month that reminds them of losing someone they love. Sometimes life doesn’t seem fair when it stops giving you gifts and starts to take them away.
For me June was the last time I saw my dad before he died. I saw him on Father’s Day. We frequently talked after that but it was the last time that I would receive one of his great hugs.
I use to feel kind of down at this time of year since he died but I’ve started to release some of that pain. While I was missing my dad on Father’s Day I started realizing that my husband Joe was making his own memories with our little girls. All of the sudden I found myself grinning and taking in every minute of his loving our girls. Our little girls wide eyed and excited to see if daddy would like the tie they picked out for him or the card they made him.
He did of course love everything they gave him. After all it is from the three little ladies in his life that taught him how to love big. It dawned on me that my dad had those moments with me and I am so grateful to have even had him for 30 years.
So in the month of June celebrate your dad whether he’s living or not. My dad has passed but I know he’s still with my family, still beaming at my girls, still loving me as if I was small. I’ve given many readings over the years and parents who pass often say they are with their children on all the important days even after they die. So here’s to my dad Mike, Joe’s dad Jim, Joe and your dads, thank you for gracing our lives.
