Jimmy and I announced our engagement on Christmas day in '76. I was 26 and Jimmy was only 20 and both of our families were mildly freaked out about it.
At some point during the day, my Dad asked me if I knew what the hell I was doing. I assured him that I did and he paused and then replied with a grin
"Jeez, I didn't think I'd ever get rid of you." I laughed then and can laugh now. I did know - back into time and deep into the future.
My Men of Steel spent a fun day together while I dipped out for the day at a friend's house but got home in time to finally get a decent steak off the grill for us.

I thought of you yesterday and how hard a day it must have been. My Dad said the same to me when I married at 34. :) I am now sitting and waiting. This will be Dad's last Father's Day and knowing that makes it even more precious. xoxo
