Thursday night when Gus picked up the mail there was a small padded envelope addressed to Gus from our youngest son. I have not mentioned it before because I wanted to protect him, but our youngest son just returned from fighting in Iraq. Even though the package was addressed to Gus, he passed it to me and left the room. As soon as I opened it, I knew what it was and that it was meant for his Dad. Below is a picture of our son with what the package contained, and what was written in the card. It was enough to make a grown man cry.
Happy Father’s Day to my sweet husband, Gus the father of our four children.
Happy Father’s Day to my dear father-in-law who fought in the Korean War as a sailor and is the only father I have.
Happy Father’s Day to my oldest son, G, who is a new father this year. This is his first Father’s Day.
Happy Father’s Day to my middle son, who loves his kids so much.
Happy Father’s Day to all our service men who fight to keep us safe, who fight to keep us free.
Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there who love their children with unconditional love.
