On This Father’s Day, Love To My Fathers

dadgranddad

These are the two most important men in my life, my father and my grandfather. On this Father’s Day I want them to know how grateful I am for their love, care and wisdom they have generously shared with me throughout my life. They taught me that it’s OK to be a loving and affectionate man and of course all the geeky and nerdy stuff too. I love you dad and granddad.

Sometimes we all just need that thing that gives us hope when all seems to be lost and finding it means being divergent and taking other roads to the eternal or the next life to come.
