I have a bit of a dirty little secret… Not all Picture of the Week photos were actually taken the week they’re posted. In fact, some aren’t even taken the year they are posted! This one, however, was actually taken this morning. Definitely a great way to start the day and to kick off Father’s Day.
For those of you that know me, you have likely heard that my dad took a spill almost 2 weeks ago and ended up breaking his hip and his heel bone. This past week he was able to move from the hospital to a transitional care facility close to our home and has been making great progress. Even with my dad’s good physical health otherwise, it has still been a stressful situation, as you would imagine. All that said, this Father’s Day has been a little different than most! We still have a lot to be thankful for though. This Father’s Day I’m happy that when my dad fell off a ladder, all that happened was some broken bones. This Father’s Day and every other day of the year, I’m thankful that I was blessed with an amazing dad that loves the Lord and taught my brother and I how to navigate this life with grace and integrity.
Thanks for being awesome dad!
