'father'

Our Background Heroes 

F – Forever in the background
A – As our mothers play the leading role; we are 
T – Thoughtless at times to grasp your WORTH 
H – Hence this token of our love  
E – Even though it might seem minute, it comes from the heart - 
R – Remember you mean the world to us!!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

This is such a thoughtful tribute for fathers, Missy! You are right though, of how fathers do tend to be in the background.... belated Happy Father's Day to your wonderful dad! Again, thank you so much for the prayers and caring thoughts, for always being there....we have another typhoon but considerably less damaging, just bringing some rains...have a wonderful week, Missy! * Mwahugs *!
