I have been editing video tape for the last two years of our family. I made 2 DVD's for my husband and his three daughters entitled "Daddy and Me". I used a computer program that enabled me to go clip by clip.
The video include things such as the following: planting gardens, horsey back rides, sitting on Daddy's shoulders while hiking through the park.....singing the theme from Raw-Hide, feeding the neighbors cows grass, swimming in their little pool, carving pumpkins, decorating easter eggs, reading bedtime stories, giving them tractor rides, flying kites, etc. etc., the list goes on and on.
I think one of the best clips, is watching him iron their frilly Christmas dresses, while watching the Cleveland Browns in a Christmas Eve play-off game. To give you a visual, my husband is an "Old Hippy". He has no hair on top, and has a beard that covers his chest. He is also wearing a Cleveland Browns sweatshirt. What a guy!
I have been blessed to have Tom for my Husband and the Father of our Children. He's not perfect, but pretty close to it. I know that if something happens to me before our last child is an adult, he is capable of doing both mine and his duties. I always said he is a better "Housewife then I am". Plus he is the best Handy Man. If he doesn't know at first how to do a task, he figures it out.
Prior to my recent recurrance I told Him He was not aloud to die before I did. I really meant it. There is no way I could maintain the mechanics of running this house, cars, and property. I would have to go into a condo.
I have also been known to quote "managing cancer is easier then raising teenagers". I have one more to go and she is pushing the limit on everything. But, we'll save that for a future post!!!
I wish all the Dad's out there "Happy Father's Day". And same goes for all the Mom's that have to be both "Mom" and "Pop".
Love and Blessings from Lu Ann
