Father�s Day this year was a little different for our family because we spent it in a hospital room with my husband. As each one arrived, I took their picture with their Dad/Grandpa. We ate Ham sandwiches from Arby�s and had doughnuts from Dunkin Donuts. In the past, I usually made a big dinner or perhaps we had a picnic depending on the weather. This meal was a little different, but that�s okay because we were together like always.
I know Father�s Day has passed, but I would still like to share a poem I wrote for my husband a while back. Again, it tells you a little bit about what a great Husband and Dad he truly was.
Honey,
You are the love of my life
Blessed was the day I became your wife
Good times many, bad times few
But one thing was left for you to do
To be a Dad to a sweet little one
Maybe a daughter or maybe a son
Our dream then came true for me and for you
A daughter called Cathy so sweet and so new
A little while gone and we had yet another
Her name we called Susan � all we need now a brother
Our two little girls you loved them so
So good a Dad, it�s hard to know
A little while yet another will be
A son we called �Butch� now our family complete
You were always there through the good and the bad
The best Dad that three kids ever had
You worked very hard to give them all that you could
Some days were tough, but so many were good
You always found time for love and for play
Even at the end of a very long day
We watched them grow into women and man
To have our grandchildren � the best in the land
They call you �Papa� or �Grandpa� or sometimes just �Gramps�
But each one and all, they think you�re a champ
You love them so much from the big to the small
It seems like you�re always at their beckoning call
You�ve earned the name Father and now Grandpa too
You�re one in a million and that�s why I love you
