Father's Day

So it has been a little over a week since Father's Day and our first one withour my dad. My sister and I were discussing how it feel a bit odd without him. Perhaps the day was a day of happiness with a touch of sorrow and understanding too.

My family spent the day together - we swam:

We ate out:

And just enjoyed our time together.

What I most enjoyed was seeing a "dad" document that my son put together. I love how Noah sees his dad as larger than life:

And looking back when I was my son's age, my dad seemed larger than life, too. I think that is one reason it made saying goodbye so hard.

But I made a layout of some happy times with my dad last year when he was done with his chemo and feeling pretty good:

Lots of little details (and hidden journaling). I made this layout late one night so I grabbed whatever supplies I could find on my desk to do so:

And we know it gets easier each day and each month and each year. And so we wait and we celebrate our time with our families together. 

There are things which will happen in my week which makes me think of my dad and 95% of the time in a happy way so that brings a smile to my face. And my dad being one of the jolliest men around, would be happy to know I am smiling too.

I love the little note your son did for your husband. Lovely layout of your father. It does get easier with time. Like you, I lost my Dad and all I can say is though you don't forget, it does take time. Take care and hope to see you again soon at another scrapping event.
