Storm of Thoughts

Happy Father’s Day!

In honor of Father’s Day, I found some quotes that reminded me of my dad. Just like on Mother’s Day, I can’t be home to celebrate with him, but hopefully he knows how much I’m thinking about him! And I know that he’ll also be thinking about his own dad, which is what makes Father’s Day such a good opportunity to remember all of the important men in our lives. After all, few people have a greater impact on one’s life than their dad.

He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
-Clarence Budington Kelland

A father carries pictures where his money used to be.

Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.
~Jack Handy
(Well, okay, that one’s not serious.)

And one more:

There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself.
~John Gregory Brown, Decorations in a Ruined Cemetery, 1994

And even though plenty of quotes make me think of my dad, he has a number of his own quotes too, the type of sayings that define him and will always stick with us (like it or not). Little words of wisdom like “Sabrett’s are the best,” “Make your money on the buy,” and, the most important, “We’re always proud of you.”

I’m proud of you too, Dad! I love you!

And here’s one more photo, which you may have seen on my blog before; Father’s Day, a few years ago.

Happy Father’s Day to everyone!
