It’s almost time to honor the special men in our lives! I always feel there is so much emphasis on Mother’s Day and not enough on Father’s Day. However, our parents should not be just honored and celebrated one day out of the year, but all 366 (this year is a leap year) days. I lost my father almost two years ago and there is not a single day that passes by without me thinking and smiling about the great times we spent together. He will always be apart of me and nothing can change that! The parental bond lasts forever. I pray you take time to let your dad know how much you love him and cherish the moments you share with each other.
I love this poem and hope you do too! After enjoying the poem, please enter the giveaway below for the chance to win some fantastic prizes for dad! A big thanks to the gals you took the time to put this wonderful giveaway together and to Black & Decker for providing the awesome prizes! Good luck!
Footprints
“Walk a little slower, Daddy,”
said a child so small.
“I’m following in your footsteps
and I don’t want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they’re hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.
Someday when I’m all grown up,
You’re what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who’ll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.”

I don’t really have any father’s day memories of my dad. I was young when he left and don’t think we celebrated back then. I do remember when my son was about 4 and he gave me an electric drill for father’s day. (For mother’s day I got flowers.) That was pretty cool. As a single mom it was nice to be remembered on father’s day, too.

Every fathers day is a fond memory because I just love spending time with my father. He is a hoot and one father’s day sticks out in my mind and actually it was a year when I just couldn’t think of anything to buy him so I decided to just give him a card with cash in it so he could pick out what ever he wanted to treat himself. Well like I said he is a hoot. He starts jumping and dancing around the kitchen singing “I’m In The Money” (this was at age 70) lol . Trust me it wasn’t that much money at least not enough to dance and sing about. He always makes me laugh~!
Thanks for reminding me of such a great memory 🙂
P.S. I think he might of liked these tools better lol
My father has been gone for many years. My favorite memory was going to the ballpark with him.
The year we camping in the rain. We had to stay inside and we had so much fun playing games, telling stories and just talking!
Spending the day at Knottsberry farm.
Thanks for the chance.

We always made something special for my dad. Then we gave him an awesome gift…which was usually some godawful ugly tie! 🙂

My fondest father day memory was spending the entire day fishing with my step dad. Even though we both got burnt, we had a great time
My Dad has passed away. My favorite memory was going fishing with him. I miss you Daddy!
I dont have any that I remember because my dad died when I was 9.
