Father's Day

Sadly, I almost forget this day since we have no dads in our lives.  I guess we could have went to the  cemetery to say, "Hi," to my dad, but why?  It's not like he's there, though I did see quite a few families picnicing at the cemetery as we were driving to Ontario Outlet Mall.

Jory doesn't talk about not having a dad.  While the girls are convinced their dad is in heaven and I know they don't mean God or Jesus.  I'm still not sure where they got this idea from, but they got it and they are truly running with it, even though I tell them each time we don't know that their birth fathers are in heaven.

I don't think when I decided to do this as a single mom, I thought about what my kids would think about not having a dad.  Yes, my dad was absent from my life, but I knew he was out there somewhere and once in a blue moon I would see him, but they don't have that.  Though thankfully they do have a Heavenly Father who loves them more than they love themselves, I know now they can't fully understand that but I pray one day they will. 

And I pray one day they will get an awesome father in their lives, in the form of me getting a new husband or maybe in the form of a super awesome father-in-law, as what happened to my friend whose dad left after his parents' divorced.  But mostly and more importantly, I pray they are content in whatever happens in the dad situation. Cause I just realized my dad wasn't there and I had a super crappy father-in-law, so I really haven't been successful in the dad arena.  But as always God heals, God provides, and He is good all the time.  All the time He is good.
