Fathers Day.

Fathers day always used to be a day when I hung out with my dad and did all kinds of fun things. Now it’s my turn to spend the day with my boys and my dad. My dad has always been one of closest friends as all of my friends found out my dad being well older then most dads he never shows his age. My dad will be 78 this year and some days doesn’t act a day over 21. (sometimes 18) All the time I have folks come up to me and say “Man your dad is awesome” I always reply with “yep that’s my dad.” my dad immigrated here from Norway in 1954.  He grew up and was a teenager in German occupied Norway.  A few weeks ago when I got a new HDTV we sat and reflected on some of the things that he had seen throughout his life. It was a very surreal moment for me and  it reminded me of how lucky I am to still have him around in my life. I get the pleasure of having him live around the corner and he gets the pleasure of seeing his grandson’s as often as he wants. It’s funny how things repeat themselves my mom took a picture of me playing legos with my FarFar (Norwegian for Fathers Father) and my dad was in amazement. I now get to live that same experience with my kids. I get to see him do things with them that just amaze me…

So to My dad “Happy Father’s Day I love you!”
