In honour of Father’s Day, here’s an oldie from 2010 for your enjoyment. Do you have a similar precious memory of your dad from your youth? I’m still a Daddy’s girl. How about you?
For Friesens and Bhatias who are grieving the loss of their fathers this week.

I followed behind him on the beach.
He turned with a smile and opened his arms
for me to run into
and he swung me schrieking
high into the air,
catching my laughter on the way down.
I stood on his shoulders as he
launched me into the surf
squealing and splashing.
Then screaming and thrashing
as I gulped in salt water
and my feet desperately
saught security
until his hands reached down
and pulled me into the haven
of his embrace.

lol. Actually I was away for a romantic theatre weekend in the big city with my husband, but I saw dad on Monday. He’s a young 98! 😉
