Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD

[MwSlim]

Good Morning Army! Happy Father's Day to all you Army Dads!

I put the old style alarm clock wrapped up in one of my t shirts and moved Diesels crate to my bedroom and he slept through the night! I had to wake him up to take him outside lol

Even when I first put him in for the night he cried for less than 2 mins. What an improvement over the first 2 nights.

Thanks again everyone for the tips it felt great to finally sleep

Finally got back home very late last night. Only had one major meltdown with my 3yr old granddaughter when momma dropped us off at the airport. By the time we got through with ticketing, she was fine and excited again. . A bit of love and attention when the meltdown started, then ignoring the following continuation (too much attention is not a good thing either) starts the trip in a positive way. I know it sounds like it didn't, but trust me.....if she sees she can get away with throwing a fit, she will do it consistently.

i continued the positive motivation by pointing out the kids that were .........shall we say what they are?...... Brats. And told her in her ear, while giving her love, how good she is being and how proud I am that she is such a good girl.

<----- Hey Look! I am a Veteran now. Hard to believe I have been here for a year....

WOOOOOOOT!! Congrats on the Veteran status!!!

Hula I am so happy for you and the Red is so pretty. I think you made a good decision....for me I'd rather change batteries more often for the mini size factor and believe you'll feel the same way. You were probably smart to get the extender cap, I never did. Been working all day and just taking a break...need to really hit it hard this weekend to get things under control...cause I have a feeling I might get a new grandchild next week

i know your excitement very well!!!!

wow! so am I! I hadn't even noticed! Happy anniversary Mr. Lion!

when Edd said he was now a vet, I checked yours too!! WOOOOOOOOT! I figured you were here before him!

Aren't the veterans supposed to throw you a party when you come of age? Thought I read that somewhere...

Geez, almost forgot - Happy Anniversary to you too Hula!!!

they used to but the person running it got too busy to continue.

Good morning. Happy father's day.

Even though I know you're not a father, you are the father of this thread! HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!!!!

Happy Dad's Day all you fathers and fatherly figures!!! Dang it doesn't feel like father's day here. They have theirs on the King's b-day, as he's the father of the country, so they say. It's 8 PM and this is the first time all day I heard someone say it - or read someone type it, or .... whatever!


Dang Slim, that pup sure is cute!

Good Night Army! Hitting the sack early tonight.

Glad to hear you're back home safely, Robin and with 3 in tow, no doubt you're tired as well.
Ice, good to see you pop in too. I remember those days as well. "I'll I want for Chrithmath, ith my two front teef!"

Thanks Robin and Dust. FD can be an unwelcomed reminder if I dwell on it. You're good people.

My Father:

Was born in 1932 and died before his 61st birthday in 1993. Cancer invaded his pancreas and metastasized from there. I learned of his prognosis on my 34th birthday (and his 39th wedding anniversary). He was dead five weeks later.

My father grew up as an only child. You could sense some minor streaks of selfishness at times from getting 100% of the attention from his mother and father. It wasn't bad though so it never bothered anyone. Besides, we understood. I saw little of my dad growing up because he was always so busy He was an inventor. Truthfully, we all knew he was a genius...in the literal sense of the word. He made some good money, but he didn't care about money. He just wanted to invent stuff and build stuff. Other's made the big bucks off his creations. That's what made him happy. The closest we were was when I was 11 years old and he decided to be a Little League baseball manager. Yes, he was my manager for two years. I was a pretty good ballplayer. And it's because my father and I studied the game...every little intricacy of it. That's just who he was...he had to know everything for his own gratification. Those were two very special years. I grew older and thought I knew everything (like all kids do) and it kind of put a little distance between us that was never recaptured. But I learned something from my father. I learned that you treat people with respect.

I went to my father's memorial service at the church my Mom went to (and when she could drag my father in too). We got there just before the starting time. As we neared, there was a string of traffic and a traffic cop trying to organize it all. We finally made it to the church but there was no place to park. Cars overflowed to the warehouse parking lots across the street. We got inside and the church was jam packed and overflowing in the foyer all the way outside. There were hundreds and hundreds of people there to pay their last respects to my father. I knew my dad was a good man. But I had no idea he touched so many people. It was that moment I learned my life lesson from my father. Respect others.

My Facebook friends have already seen these, but here's some of Chloe's "presents" to me for Father's Day.

A wonderful story, with a very important life lesson at the end of it. Thank you for sharing, Bronze!

A very poignant story, Bronze. Sad yet inspiring at the same time. Your Dads son learned well from him.

 

[MostlySunny]

What a nice story Bronze. Hope you get some time in with Alexis today. I spent all day/evening yesterday with my friend whose Dad just died 2 months ago. Her mom was there too. It was a very heavy day, but she reminded me to call my Dad today, and remember how blessed I am that I have the option.

Bronze, thanks for sharing that wonderful story with us.
