I thought a would share some pictures of some of my favorite fathers with you today ...
Let's begin with my very own Daddy. His name is JC. I loved Daddy with all of my heart ... I actually do not like to use the past tense form of the word love ... because I still LOVE him so very much. I miss him too. This is a picture of Daddy taken on Father's Day, June 1998. He passed away just a few months later. Daddy was SUCH a wonderful father to my brother Jerome, my sister Joy and me. Our mother passed away in 1976 and he became a single parent. He was the BEST father we could have ever asked for. We miss you so much!
And this is my wonderful husband Mike ... with Griffin on the day he was born. This was the day that Mike became a father. He is such a wonderful father ... Griffin is so very lucky!!
And here you see Mike's Dad Ray, Mike, AJ, and Mike's brother Kevin. In the back row you see my MIL Jeri and my SIL Melissa. This picture was taken at our house this past Easter. I remind Mike all the time how very lucky he is to still have both parents (Mike's mother is my MIL Bett). Ray is a wonderful Dad and Grandpa. Griffin calls him Pop. We always look forward to when Ray and Jeri (Pop & Nana) can come visit us. And Mike's brother Kevin is a new daddy too. AJ is two years younger than Griffin ... since Kevin, Melissa and AJ live in Virginia now we sure hope to be able to spend more time with them.
In this picture, my brother Jerome is wearing the peach shirt and hat ... not only is he a wonderful brother, he is also a terrific dad and step-dad. He has a daughter, two-step sons and two grand kids ... and they all consider themselves lucky to call him Dad ... and I certainly consider myself lucky to call him my brother. In this particular picture he and my SIL Bonnie are renewing their wedding vows. Also pictured are their sons Wade and Scott along with their girl friends.
Happy Father's Day!!!
nice family you have there Missy, and its obvious that everyone is close to each other, and present themselves as a cohesive family unit. Thanks for sharing the pics with us.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to have met your Dad Missy and know he was a great father that adored you! I also remember that you were quite a "Daddy's Girl" but that's okay...since I was one too! We girls love our Daddy's!
ReplyDeleteHappy Father's Day to all the great men in your life Missy!
Nice tribute to all the dads in your life. It's nice to know some of us are getting it right most of the time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trubute to great Dads!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Father's Day!!

Because of my Daddy, JC Hutto I have the work ethic that I have today...I started mowing grass with him when I was 8 years old....He instilled in me that if you want something you have to work hard for it....Happy Fathers Day to you Daddy....
ReplyDeleteI thought it might have been Wade's birthday. I didn't even see the Santa until you mentioned it. So you are probably right. Hope you had a fantastic weekend. Happy Father's day, Mike. We love you.
ReplyDeleteMy turn to play me, again. How did Mike like his little gift that Griffin made him. I'm sure he loved it. Jerome got a PS2 (yeah I know, so out of date lol) and Guitar Hero 2. He played at Wade's last weekend and love it. He played for 2/12 hours straight last night. Glad he got something he wanted LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat great men you have in your life.
