Last year we spent Father’s Day at my sister’s house. My mom was still here, very ill and struggling, still hoping that her battle with lung disease would have a happy ending. My son and daughter-in-law were reeling after losing their first unborn daughter to kidney disease, and my one year old niece Aryielle was just home from the hospital after becoming critically ill and having been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. A year later we are going to brunch with Andy and Meagan, the onesie in the photo is for our son who is expecting a daughter any day now. This afternoon we’ll go to my dad’s house, barbecue some chicken, and watch two year old Aryielle run around the backyard, healthy now but forever dependant on finger pricks and insulin to remain so. It seems that time really does fly, whether you’re having fun or not. Happy Father’s Day:)

I’m glad this Father’s Day is one with new beginnings. Cherish the day.
Yep, the bad is always followed by some good sooner or later, you just have to hang in there sometimes!
Tis a much better year for your family, Lilli. We all need to remember that life goes on —after so many heartaches.
Hope you all have a wonderful Father’s Day.
Hugs,
Betsy
It was a year of turmoil but it seems there is much to be grateful for with things going in a much more positive direction now.
