HAPPY Father's Day

 

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF FATHER'S DAY?

Unlike Mother's Day, which has pretty somber origins, Father's Day has relatively light roots—and was actually created by a woman. According to History.com, back in 1909, a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, "tried to establish an official equivalent to Mother’s Day for male parents." She went around to local businesses to gather support for her idea, and on June 19, 1910, the state of Washington celebrated the first-ever Father's Day.

A TRIBUTE TO  

My Husband 

My husband is so full of GOODNESS.    
He is always looking for opportunities to serve his family 
his friends and others.

He has been a volunteer blacksmith at the Relic Home for
20 years.

Those 20 years have shown him health challenges:

Quadruple Heart By Pass
Shoulder socket replacement
Colo Rectal Cancer
and
Just this year:
Liver, Gallbladder and a triple Hernia
Surgery.

We have been married for 54 years.
The greatest blessing I have in my life is my 
wonderful husband.  

I don't know what I would have done without him.  

In January, we didn't know what was coming
around the bend.  
He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

   He fought hard as he always does and survived.  

Then the pandemic came.  
I am so grateful to Our Heavenly Father 
to still have him by my side. 

We have three wonderful children
and the very most talented ten grandchildren.
Life is good.
