Socks and Ties

Today is the day that we traditionally honor our fathers, you know, the "if mom says no there's always dad" guy, the one who lets us eat ice cream and cookies for breakfast when mom is away, the one who stays up late with us and watches scary movies, the one who teaches us how to handle money and change our oil, the guy who takes us fishing and "helps" reel in our big catch, the one who stands by your side and holds your hand when you're scared and lost.

Ahh dads are pretty awesome...and they deserve to be treated like the bit of stardust magic that they are every single day, not just the third Sunday in June...so, get up and hug your dad and if he doesn't live close enough, call him and hug him through the phone.





“Any man can be a Father but it takes someone special to be a dad.” -Anne Geddes


They say that from the instant he lays eyes on her, a father adores his daughter. Whoever she grows up to be, she is always to him that little girl in pigtails. She makes him feel like Christmas. In exchange, he makes a secret promise not to see the awkwardness of her teenage years, the mistakes she makes or the secrets she keeps.
