Father's Day

Daddy was so excited to have his first father's day. He says he has been waiting for this for a long time. Daddy was very emotional this weekend. He was caught up in the coverage of the death of Tim Russert. Even though he did not ever watch "Meet the Press" and didn't know Tim Russert, he found himself enthralled in the story. That morning he watched a tribute and the story of a book that Tim Russert wrote for his son about his dad called "Big Russ and Me". The next thing i knew, i looked over at him and he was in tears...what a mess he is at times. I guess the story hit home with him as he realized that I would be looking up to him as the days, weeks and years pass by. He is going to be my "Big Russ". Daddy was so interested in the book that he ordered a copy for himself and for my Pop-Pop. He actually dragged Mommy and me out to Barnes and Noble to find the book, but they were sold out and so was every other bookstore in the area. He ended up buying it online. He has still not received it, but is excited to start reading it when it arrives. He has actually been thinking about writing his own book just for me...i guess he thinks he will do that in his spare time. After we ran around looking for the book, we went to Nana & Pop-Pop's for lunch. It was a great time and i got to see everyone. My Pop was not there as he just had knee replacement surgery a few days earlier so i missed him. Daddy said that his Father's Day was even better than he imagined...Happy Father's Day Daddy.
