Father's Day

Mr Relaxed.... its him on the lawn

Naturally my father is person of the week.
It is after all Father's Day... and there is no shortage of reasons crowning him, either.

- gentle with the strong as well as the frail - kind to the petrol-attendant and the house-aid - determined - graceful - warm ( not afraid of sharing his big heart with a crushing hug ) - caring - involved in his childrens' lives ( without being overbearing or nosey ) - good with pets - good with braai ( ok, I think that goes for most South African Dads ) - is NOT obsessed with rugby - put his friends' needs first - rubs mom's feet - sparkly soft eyes - ears that can handle the noise & raucous laughter of his 3 daughters - ♥

There is however a cherry on top of all this:
My parents are celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary today.

big whoop whoop to Mom & Dad!
Look at how handsome he looks 1976...
and mommy: you are a princess !!

We are lucky to have you.
