Dadism.....

Sitting with dad today eating this great ice cream cake Sariah picked up from Dairy Queen and having a "how many calories are there in this thing anyway" type of discussion. Then dad pops off with one of his "dadisms". He has many, but this was new and felt I needed to add it while it was fresh in my mind.


DAD:

"Well, yunno, once you cut the cake and lay it on the plate..... the air gets to it, releasing all the calories into the air....basically calorie evaporation....."

Works for me.

Happy Fathers Day Father. I love you.

Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to James Wayne. I love you dad. I love your kindness, and humor, your sensitivity and strong powers of empathy. I love your bear hugs, your huge grin and your ability to always make me laugh no matter what is going on. You've had a hard life with so many struggles....but you have managed to stay loving and kind. Not an easy feat. I'm on my way to Becky's to see you and give you a massage, although I suspect you may not let me, but I'll get one in somehow! I love you dad, thanks for being my father.

To My son Chris. Hmmm....I love you so much I don't think I can find the words to tell you. You are always respectful to me, always loving even when your angry with me...which doesn't happen often. I love your humor and I've been so impressed with how well you've matured without a man in your life, without a father, to be an example. Your ability to love unconditionally is amazing to me. Not many people can do that....you are rare. It's a wonderful gift you give to those you love. I'm blessed to have you in my life, I'm blessed to have you as a son, and Addison is blessed to have you as a father. I love you!
