Father's Day weekend

HI Everyone,
Hope you're all enjoying today's summer weather! I know I am...
Well, it's Father's Day weekend and, thankfully, we have a wedding tomorrow which should lift my spirits and Mr. P&P's...why you ask?
Neither Mr. P&P have our Dads living...they both passed awhile ago so sometimes we forget it's Father's day...but we never forget our Dads though!
I cannot speak to Mr. P&P's Dad as I never met him, unfortunately but I can tell you about MY Dad...
He was a real pistol (which I am sure is hard to believe knowing my personality). They called him "Sargeant" (again, shocking, right?). He was hard on the outside and a stuffed teddy bear on the inside. (The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...) He taught me how to drive offensively (yes, that's the right word) and that, when I had a fender bender on an icy road that it was no big deal-although my Mom thought it was a federal disaster. He did all my math homework (he was a physicist) and loved classical music. He was passionate about his causes and taught me to be too. He always kept his word and that's where I learned it.
He would do anything for my brother and me and did. The only thing he couldn't do was save his bad heart and that's what took him away.
So, when I'm screaming at you to work harder, push yourselves and eat right most of the time...that's why. I don't want any of you (or your kids) to be missing your "Dad" at this time of year. Trust me-it stinks. Really stinks.
I miss him every day but I know he'd be proud of me. He always said he wanted us to do something we loved and, I'm lucky, because I am.
Tomorrow I'm going to post a poem he wrote me (yeah, the big tough guy like to write poetry).
Oh and, the more I think about it, like every little girl does-I married a guy just like my Dad. There are differences-but he treats me like a Princess just like my Dad did...
So Happy Father's Day Mr. P&P, your girls (me and Lilly...Ally too) love you!
