Another First

The firsts are hard.

The first Father's Day 

without the father.

When we went to buy Father's Day cards for the grandfathers this past week

(sorry, grandfathers - they're not in the mail yet),

Luke wanted to make sure his dad had a Father's Day card.

Then Luke said his dad needed some glasses so he could read it.

Then he decided that his dad would have enjoyed playing with this little toy with him.

So we bought them.

And today we took them to the grave after church.

After Luke presented them to his dad at the grave,

we placed them in a ziploc bag and attached them to the grave marker.

I told Luke we'll leave them there for a bit.

I took my dad to church with us today.

And, believe it or not, I forgot to get a picture :) 

It was a great Father's Day for him.  He was so happy to be at church.

And the Father's Day gift that Luke made in Sunday School was presented to my dad.

It was good that my children had my dad today.  It helped to have him to be the focus of the day.
