My dad is my hero. When I was eleven years old, he married my mother taking on the responsibility of raising my brothers and me ... a guy that never before had children ... instantly becomes the father of three half grown children. No longer is the word "step" included in his title. Just dad, pop or papa will do. Thanks Dad for stepping up to the plate and making us your own. People often wonder where I get my "handyman" skills ... I always watched you tinker in the garage taking things apart, making something old run like new again. You were a good teacher and didn't even know it. I hope you have a great Father's Day today. Missing you much in Idaho. Love, your little daughter. Hugs & Kisses

Now Mrs. Mack, why in the world did you ever let him get away, way over there in Idaho.
Happy Father's Day, Dad! That Mrs. Mac sure did learn to love, I know from her parent's teaching and example.
My Dad died this year, March 19. I miss him today, I will try to wish some more others Happy Father's Day.
I'm teaching Sunday school this morning, immobilizer and all. So I can do that though none are old enough to be my dad (70 and over, Dad was 97).
They have a stool for me this morning.
My own kids made contact, Karen, Billy, and GC#4 (a.k.a. BP) took us out to eat Italian food Friday night.
BTW, Mrs. Mac, you sure do stay up late!

Ahh, Jim ... I don't really stay up late ... my time zone set on the blog is a few hours ahead of my own Pacific Time.
I posted a comment this morning - it must be floating around in cyber space or it will post twice when I least expect it!
That's such a nice picture - you are blessed to have such a fine man to call "dad"...and he's blessed to have such a fine daughter.
Your mom's quite the hottie- good looks are all over the place in your family!!

I'll say it again...

What a blessing that you step-father became a real Father to you.
You look like your Mother and I would say both are very pretty. and I'm saying all this LOUD! :-)
