Here is to all you Fathers out there! Enjoy your day, and spend some time with your family. Time goes fast, and before you know it, they are grown up! I soon will graduate to Grandfather at the end of next month, and can’t wait to experience this next phase.
There were many times when my kids came along with me to my races. They were my support, and my cheering section. Now in September I will get to run a marathon with Megan. It will be a first for her. I have always wanted to run one with my kids. I am definitely looking forward to this as well.
This was my Father’s Day present from Megan a few years ago, but, what can I say? I am a “Runner Dad…just like a normal Dad, but much cooler!” Right on!
Like I said, they grow up fast. Here is my Dad with Nick. This was about 23 years ago. Wow! A lot of things have changed in that time. But family is still priority. I learned the Father things from a great example. It has been over 7 years since he has been gone, and I still miss him everyday!
Nick and I were trying to get our own tradition going by hitting Vikings games. COVID brought it to a halt last year, so will have to see what we can keep going. Otherwise, we start coming up with a new tradition!
These 3 made me a Father! There were stressful times, but many more good times. Growing pains we all experience. They have all become great adults, and are beginning to work on there own lives now. But, they will always be my kids. Life continues to be an adventure, and we have to just go with the flow, and take it all in.
Happy Father’s Day to all you Dads. You always have to keep working at it, but it is worth it. Enjoy that time for as long as we can. There are always adventures to be had. Keep moving everybody!
