i'm sorry i wasn't there this weekend to give you a big hug and wish you a Happy Father's Day. i'm sorry that i couldnt give you your present in person (but i hear that its coming in the mail today! yay for extended holidays!) i'm sorry that i interrupted your lunch yesterday when i called, even though you swore it wasnt really an interruption. i'm sorry that i have to wait another 39 days til i can see you again. its been WAY too long.
and i'm sorry if that paragraph made you cry.
but i wanted to tell you what i did this weekend in your honor: i cleaned out my car. i took out all the trash that had been riding around on the floor. i cleaned all the spare change out of the bottom of the cupholders. i took random things inside that don't need to live in my car. and i put them away. i took the floormats out and laid them on the driveway and vaccumed EVERYTHING. i wiped down the dashboard with Armorall wipes. i even windexed the windows.
and then i did the same thing to my husband's car. i even vacuumed out his trunk.
and i knew that you would be proud of me.
but then, the inside of the cars were too clean for their grubby exteriors. so i got a bucket, sponge, some soap, and the hose and washed the outside. and then i dried it with my brand new shammy. because that's just how its done, ya know?
i love my clean-like-new-again car. and i love you more for teaching me how to take care of it.
see you in 39 days!

Because the jobs not done till the outside is clean... We have a great dad. :)
I may be slow at keeping up with all the blog posts, but I do, and I simply couldn't be prouder of you all. I am blessed beyond what I deserve. I love you so much.
I have been and always shall be your Dad. (just to infuse a little Star Trek to help me stop crying!)
