We had a lovely brunch this morning to celebrate father’s day. My sister made some delicious pancakes. Tonight we are celebrating with family friends: dinner to be followed by jamming.
My dad is my adventure mate. He’s the one I ski down crazy pitches with, discover the mountains with, climb with, canoe with etc etc etc. He’s one heck of a woodsman and fit as any person I know. I love doing these things with him and I try so hard to keep up with him. He tells everyone how strong and fit I am, which is true if you don’t count the lungs. We’ve been having some awesome times so far this summer and I can’t wait for this to resume.
Funnily enough, my dad is not an asthma dad. That’s my fault because I do my best not to show him when I’m sick so that he will still think I’m strong and able to do cool things with him. My mom always does asthma duty and I like it that way. I just hope he doesn’t feel bad about it.
I really hope you are all enjoying your father’s day and giving your fathers appropriate amounts of love and affection.
PS Did I mention my dad rocks out on the electric bass? Yeah!

Your dad sounds like an awesome adventure-type guy! And the bass? Even better!
Happy Fathers Day Danielle’s dad!

You’re strong even when you ARE sick–as an asthma parent, I can tell you I think my kid is MOST strong when she’s fighting to breathe. And you know what? She’s a way better athlete, hiker, adventurer, etc. than her non-asthmatic sister–I think because her health makes her appreciate the good times even more.
Anyway, I’m so glad you’ve recovered, and your dad sounds like a wonderful man.
