Not long after we moved into Mockingbird Hill Cottage, my father surprised me with this painting. He had painted it from a photo I sent him. I am lucky to have several of my Dad’s paintings, but this one may be my favorite. He knew what a dream come true it was – finally living in our own home – and this painting is priceless to me. Happy Fathers Day, Daddy. I love you always.
Happy Fathers Day to this guy – my husband – the father of Scout and Riley. He is the best Dad and has taken over all the care of our babies while I have had to be away. I’m coming home, soon, honey – you’ll get a little bit of a break. I love you.
Happy Fathers Day to my father-in-law, Lee – my brother-in-law, John, my brother-in-law, Ron, my nephew-in-law, Steve and two of my nephews; Eric, who’s first child is due in August, and Jeff, who is the proud Daddy of a new Pomeranian puppy. And Happy Fathers Day to all the loving Dads everywhere.
