Jeanne Robertson – Golfer’s Blessing On Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day everyone! I hope you get to spend time today with the man or men in your life. I’m sure my Hubby and Son-In-Law will want to be fed… in our house all celebrations revolve around food.
I lost my Dad over twenty years ago. He was a hard worker all his life – from lumber camps, to WWII, to the paper mill, and plenty of odd jobs in between. But the hardest job he probably ever had was being the father of eleven kids. We weren’t an easy bunch and he wasn’t what you would call a patient man. I didn’t know any Dads back then that were.
Fathers are cut out of a different mold now. They’re all involved with their kids, they help with homework, cook, clean, chauffeur, and do all sorts of things that Dads didn’t used to do. That’s nice.
But, I still have fond memories early on of Dad coming home from work, taking off his “work boots,” and sitting in his chair waiting for dinner. Yeah, he should have been in the kitchen helping cook dinner, but that’s not the way it was in most households back then. We knew the routine and it was fine, even comforting.
As I said, my Dad wasn’t what you’d call a patient man. He didn’t have a lot to say. He had work to do. But, there were moments when he remembered how to play and was even silly. Those are the moments I remember today.
Happy Fathers Day, Dad.
Anyway, I just wanted to share a little personal story.
Now, I want to share a little laugh courtesy of Jeanne Robertson. Take a minute to watch this short video; a warning really to listen carefully the next time a special blessing is bestowed upon you.
