Happy Father's Day

I miss my dad.

Happy Father's Day Dad. I am learning to play the guitar and I think of you every time I touch the strings. You would have loved my husband. He's a good father, too. You are both such bright stars in the landscape of what men can be. I miss my grandfather, too. He taught me to sit still long enough for a chipmunk to eat peanuts from my hand when I was 8. That's not easy. And I drink a toast to my stepfather too, who proved that parenthood could be chosen regardless of blood.

I wish I could bring you all together for one night and a glass of wine.

Cheers to all the fathers we know and love.
