*Happy Father's Day*


I want to wish all the Father's out there, old and young, a *Happy Father's Day* have a fun filled day with your children...make it a special day :)

Fathers are wonderful people,

too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
as often as we should,
For Father struggles daily
to live up to his image
As protector and provider
and hero of the scrimmage,
And perhaps that is the reason
we sometimes get the notion
That fathers are not subject
to the thing we call emotion.
But if you look inside Dad's heart,
where no one else can see,
You'll find he's sentimental
and soft as he can be.
Fathers are just wonderful
in a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments
and accolades of praise,
For the only reason Dad aspires
to fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
and bring them happiness,
And like our heavenly Father,
he's a guardian and a guide,
Someone we can count on
to be always on our side.

Dad...*Happy Father's Day*













Yesterday, it was 6 month ago that my beloved Dad passed away...my family and I are still in so much pain...NOTHING is like it used to be...it is so sad!

Those pictures were taken in June 2006 as I was visiting my parents in Germany, everything was just fine...

My Dad always had a *Green Thumb* he loved taking care of his flowers and plants...if you couldn't find him in the house, he was for sure in his garden :)

Dad, this is the first time that I can not call you and say *Happy Father's Day* to you...today, I even looked at Father's Day cards...many people were gathering around the Father's day cards and had fun picking one for their father's...it hurts...Dad, I'm
looking into the stars and hope that you see us how much we are missing you...even though you are not physically here with me, I want to wish you *Happy Father's Day*...you will NEVER be forgotten!
We love you!

We Can’t Believe You’re Gone

Dad, our sadness knows no end;
We can’t believe you’re gone;
We’re grieving for you every day;
It’s hard to carry on.

You were always there to support and care,
When we needed a true friend,
How we’ll ever do without our dad,
We cannot comprehend.

You were our teacher and our guide,
Our dad, so good and strong;
Your example will sustain us now,
And last our whole lives long.

We’re trying to communicate;
We hope that you can hear;
Expressing what we feel for you,
Helps us feel you’re near.
Our memories of the times we had
Help the pain to go away.
But Dad, our lives won’t be the same;
We’ll miss you every day.
A part of us went with you;
You left a gap too big to fill;
You’re our father and our hero;
We love you and we always will.

*Flag Day*

There is no better symbol of our country's values and traditions than the Flag of the United States of America. Chosen by the Continental Congress in 1777, it continues to exemplify the profound commitment to freedom, equality, and opportunity made by our founders more than two centuries ago. Our flag's proud stars and stripes have long inspired our people, and its beautiful red, white, and blue design is known around the world as a beacon of liberty and justice.

God Bless America and our Troops fighting for our Freedom!
