Hunting with Mike

I spent fathers day in Chicago with one of my daughters (Meghan,Mark, & Login) painting and attempting to put together a playset.  This 4 hour job is turning into a 12 hour nightmare.  All my children have called, or sent cards wishing me a happy fathers day.  I appreciate and love each one of them very much.

Any way its been 29 years since my own dad was here for fathers day, and he’s missed just as much as ever.  My dad had 6 boys and he spent as much time with us as he possibly could.  Sometimes he worked two jobs to keep a roof over our heads, but he seemed to always squeeze us boys in his schedule.  He taught us the finer things in life like hunting, fishing, trapping, baseball, and camping.  What great memories I have of my dad and our times together as father and son.  I am a 60 year old man who knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that he had a father who loved him.  Its sad to say, but not every son can say that of their father.  The memories you left me dad grow more precious every year.  Thanks for loving us all.  Happy fathers day.

Mike
