Happy Father's Day! |
|
Father's Day is a big holiday in our family as my son Noble has two dads. It is an honor to watch him become a young man and take part in his next journey...a rising senior in Fall and college in Fall of 2024. Of course, none of this would have been possible without my dad. His actions are the foundation on which I build upon. I'm grateful to have him in my life and consider him a trusted confidant. In addition to it being Father's day, it is also the month of Pride which is extra special in this household. We are also celebrating Juneteenth this Monday to honor and commemorate the struggle and courage of Black Americans in this country. Lot's to celebrate and honor this month! |
