He works long hours
To make ends meet
Driving a beat-up wagon.
He wears dollar clothes
Worn and torn
Rocking the Goodwill fashion.
He loves a bargain
Cheaper the better
A Sunday Market tradition.
His raucous laughter
Uncensored words
Not bothered with reflection.
An open book
With a heart of gold
Raw emotions on his sleeve.
This imperfect man
I call my father
The best gift one could receive.

Today is Father’s Day in Australia. I called my dear old dad this morning to wish him a happy Father’s Day, seeing that we couldn’t pop over to see him due to coronavirus lockdown.
Usually, we would have visited, enjoyed a family meal and the children and grandparents would have spent some time together.
My dad is struggling with this round of lockdowns. He spent a good hour complaining about my mum, his work, his boss, my brother… I think the dogs even got a mention!
For his benefit… and mine, I hope lockdown ends soon.
Happy Father’s Day! Especially to my wonderful husband. We appreciate you!
So fitting and beautiful, Kathy. It reminds me of my dad. Imperfect, but still written on my heart. God bless, friend ❤

Thank-you! We made a cheesecake and the kids wrapped up daddy’s favourite chips and chocolates with a card as a present. Good relaxing day.

I lost my father when I was 15 and not a day goes by that I don’t think of him. Lockdown can be hard, but just reaching out can help more than you know. Wish I could…

I can’t imagine losing a parent that young. As much as my dad annoys me sometimes, I’m glad he’s my dad. No one else gives the best ideas for blog posts!
