Happy Father's Day!
Isn't part of yesterday's celebration with food? It is important that Dad puts family mealtime as a high priority- if need be, write down the time of a family meal- it is an important appointment. My husband is a very good father and he encourages me to not let down my guard of that precious time of day. One Dad I know, lost his father at an early age. He cherished the memories of his family mealtimes and despite both sons playing demanding and time consuming high school sports, they had a family mealtime most every night- some nights it was at 8pm. And nobody could be excused from the table for 45 minutes. They started with the first period and wanted to hear about each son's entire day. Both boys were good students and graduated from Wake Forest University. Willie Lanier's father invested time in coming home after work and making those home-made rolls while listening to Guy Lombardo. Carve out time to celebrate the day together!
