The lead-up to Father’s Day has been a little different this year. I’ve tried to ignore it, push it aside and pretend it’s just another day… but in the end, all I really want to do is celebrate Dad 🤍🪶
Celebrate the incredible person he was, the life he lived, and the joy he brought to everyone around him 💛
And of course, on cue this morning, the beautiful black cockatoos in our back yard, singing their songs
I talk about Dad all the time. I tell stories, laugh at the things he used to do, hear his sayings in my head and find little reminders of him in the most unexpected places. And honestly, I think that’s how I want it to be. Because talking about him keeps him close
There are definitely more hard days now that he isn’t here, and some days the missing him catches me completely off guard. But alongside the sadness are so many beautiful memories, so much laughter and so much love. I feel it is so important to love the days through it all (take it by the balls hah) and really make the most of everything, yes the grief will always be there but make joy out of it, bring the happiness that he did to everyone around him, all the time
So today isn’t just about missing Dad. It’s about celebrating him
The incredible dad he was. The person he was. And how lucky I am that I got to call him mine
Happy Father’s Day, Dad, my king 👑
You’re still talked about, still loved, still making us laugh, and always will be 🤍
