I know a picture is worth 1,000 words but here are some words I wrote for you Dad in the book I wrote, I had to write, for you. Thinking of you today on #Father'sDay and always.

"I don't know if he tried to be a great dad or if it just came naturally, but he managed to do what I as a parent have strived to achieve: to be the parent your children would choose . . . so that they would say, 'I'll take that one.' I totally would have said that about my dad."

Dear Every Restaurant:

I don't want to place an online order, I want to look at your menu.

I don't want to visit Facebook or any other site demanding that I login to an app.

Current offerings with accurate prices are appreciated.

Thanks to the 3 of you already doing this!

Bon Appetit!

Mother's and Father's Day have always been rough, even before both my parents passed. This year with both of them gone, it's seems even harder. My parents weren't good parents, a part of me wants to soften that. I think when people die we are often expected to, but true is true.

If it's a hard day for you too, it's okay to feel sad and overwhelmed, even if it feels like the person didn't deserve your grief. Sometimes what we are grieving is the life and support we should have had.

Love people as they are. Just be kind. You are important just the way you are.
