Happy Fathers Day to all those wonderful Dads, Step-dads and Granddads out there!

Fathers day is all about honouring and celebrating our Dads. Making him feel special and thanking him for the special role he plays in our lives.  It is not all about spending money on him but spending time with him and making him feel appreciated.

It is also a day to remember those dads that aren't with us anymore and it is at these times that we remember them and cherish special memories.  One of Martin's cherished memories is beekeeping with his dad, it was a time he could spend some quality one on one time with him (hard to get when there are 7 children!).  We hope that being outside helping their dad beekeeping will be great memories for our boys too.

Here are some photos of them together:

Here's a poem I found online you might like to read.

A Father's Day Poem

by Anonymous
 
A Dad is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.

He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one
of your very best friends!

He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong

In all that you do,
a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.

And each year that passes,
you're even more glad,
More grateful and proud
just to call him your dad!

Thank you, Dad...
for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you
