Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy Father's Day to everyone's Hubby's and Fathers!! Happy Father's Day to my Wonderful husband!! I missed My Dad more that I thought I would today! My Dad and I didn't have the greatest relationship because of his addictions but when he was sober he was such a GREAT person! I find myself thinking of what may have been if he hadn't passed away and thinking of things from when I was a kid like us going fishing and him letting me think I caught the most fish!!:) 

It was also 9 years ago today that my Grandmother passed away! We were very close!!:) 

I miss them both!!!
