Happy Father’s Day
What a glorious day to celebrate fathers! Big blue sky, idyllic puffy white clouds, and a daughter who, for once, was patient!
I have to give a big shout out to my husband, whom might be the best father in modern times. This is a man who is confident enough with his masculinity to play Barbies and princess dress-up. A man who takes the time to make “cakes” with our daughter while she plays in the sandbox or tub. A man who treats his wife with love and respect as an example of how all women should be treated by any of her partners in life. Without my husband and his commitment to being such a hands-on Daddy, I would never be able to have a photography business. I’d never be able to spend hours with other families taking their photographs, or spend hours on the computer to process those photos. Without him, I wouldn’t have gotten into photography in the first place, and without him, I’d cease to be inspired by his love every.single.day.
Our daughter has told me she’d like to marry Daddy when she grows up. I’m so proud of my husband for being the kind of man that she can imagine her future prince in him. I deeply deeply wish that she has the luck to find someone like I have, and to know exactly how great her Daddy really is.
In this image, I can TOTALLY see the resemblance….the nose, the jaw line, the raised eyebrow expression. I have a beautiful daughter because I have a handsome husband (who needs a shave LOL)
And a toast to my own father! It’s been nearly 3 years since he passed suddenly in his sleep, but not a day goes by I don’t think of him. I can’t even possibly fathom what it must be like for my Mom to not have her husband wake up beside her every day, and so I acknowledge her on Father’s Day, as well. In fact, I think I’ll go call her right now.
