Happy Father's Day

Today, Facebook notified me that I had three memories that I posted on today's date--three different years. I was happy to see that they were memories of past Father's Days.

Happy Father's Day to the best Dad of these wonderful children.

When columnist Claudia Heller sent out this request, I knew just what to send her.

“For my Father's Day column, please send me a few quotes and the constant advice your father gave you while you were growing up -- his words of wisdom that have stayed with you, and a sentence or two about him.”

I was happy that she started out her article honoring my dad.(Claudia's words that are highlighted in yellow are shown below the article.)

"Many Alzheimer's patients become mean and cantankerous as the disease progresses," said Kathleen.  "But at the end of my Dad's life, he remained pleasant, and developed a childlike personality.  This is the spirit my dad displayed throughout his whole life. 

"She (Kathleen) fondly recalls that when she and her siblings would work in the yard, her father would often say:  'Many hands make light work.'  

"Duartean Kathleen Magnusson lost her father, Kiefer Harris, seven years ago when he was 76."

I’ve had similar experiences as a little girl with my own father and family in Fernley, Nevada, and as a wife and mother with Scott, in Victorville, Calif that is told in the video below.  I’m grateful for the fathers in our lives who have the courage to always keep moving ahead when faced with difficult  trials.  Happy Father’s Day!
