Never too late...
It always does my soul quite good to hang out with my father, the one who raised my husband. A good man begetting a good man is rare and moving to behold.
and to me, he's been redemption.

And to my step-father, the man that was always there. Always steady. Always willing. Always eager to love. Always remembers me...

And to my daddy...whose enigmatic, broken love still bolsters me, despite everything.

and to a few other dads who are setting a new standard for fatherhood in our generation.
i admire you, boys.

and to those to be a father this year...
Happy Father's Day.
A bright white bundle of peony, honoring a father I really like, a scalding bath, a facial mask, early to bed, falling asleep to the silence of summer rain.
How was your self-care Sunday?

your sister is strikingly beautiful. she really is.
and what a nice post! how lucky you are to have such a loving, close family of in-laws. that's a great thing.
Beautiful. I am overwhelmed by the "fathers" in your life. Truly wonderful and amazing.
And boy how Joel and his dad look alike! No mistaking that family relation!!
What a beautiful tribute! Those pictures brought back so many great memories. But it was your words that brought such happy tears to my eyes (they so often do!) as they rang true in my heart the affirmation of two really amazing men. We are truly blessed.
love this, mme. especially love the photo of you and joel's dad with the book, in the window. something so intimate about it. i have thoughts on this whole fatherhood thing that i'll share with you at a later date...
What a beautiful post... to know you more, to see what fathers have influenced your life and love.
