Wishing All Father's A Happy Father's Day!
It is a year almost that I lost my Dad. He died last year in July. I miss him a lot, but I also have great memories of him. Up until the last, my Dad was always concerned about his family. I think he must of known he was going to pass, because just before he died he gave me instructions of what to do. After my Mom passed they were married for sixty two years, his will to live declined. He wanted to go be with her. My Mom passed in February and my Dad passed five months later.
You see although my Dad is gone, he left me with wonderful memories. He molded me to be the women that I am today. He was there for all my graduations, a proud and supportive Dad. He supported my dreams and listened to me when I just needed to talk. He never held me back from doing the things I wanted to do. He offered me words of wisdom and advise.
I remember a few years back I told my dad I was going to try my hand at writing a book. He asked me what kind of book. Well, I said i am going to write a romance novel. Little did he know I was going to write a book on romance, but Ecotica at that. Now my dad is old school, keep in mind he was ninety five when he died, and here it is his daughter is telling him she is going to write a book, and it is erotica. I looked at him and thought ok, he is going to say something. But to my surprised he said "Oh", he shook his head, and just said "didn't I bring you up better than that", but its your idea, so write it. So when I had my first book published, and I showed him. He looked at it, and just smiled. Do not know if he read it, but he sure
kept a few copies by his desk, I guess he had planned on giving his friends the book. But I know he did spread the word to his buddies.
To all you Dad's out there. Embrace your children, nurture them, foster their creativity, respect them, hug them, tell them you love them. Do silly things with them, play with them, talk to them. Sometimes that is all they want you to do, to spend time with them. The Shadow Dad Project, is a group that my cousin Joseph Cassimere started on face book. I think it is the best group I have seen so far. I see Dad's of all Ethnics on there and I just want to wish them and my Cousin Joseph. HAPPY FATHERS DAY! you guys are AWESOME!
