September 2nd 2009 01:10
This Sunday is Father's Day here in Australia. The day we give the dad's of this world a pat on the back and say "You know what? You're alright."
Mr M is a good dad. It's nice knowing that I chose a good man to have a family with. But what makes him a good man? It's not that he's flawless. He's not. Neither am I. It's the fact that Mr M doesn't hide or deny his flaws or limitations; he recognises them, addresses them.
Basically he's man enough to be honest with himself and rise to it.
And his reward isn't that this Sunday he will be celebrated (although it is nice) it's the fact that everyday when he walks through the front door the kids excitedly run up to greet him.
We're quite a few years off the teenage years so we'll see how the greeting process goes then.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY MR M!
DONE GOOD, PLAYED STRONG!

With three teenagers now under our wings - it's something I really, really miss.
It's just the next stage in life I guess.
Given the chance though I would bonsai all three at the following ages - 5 - because there is still innocence and fairies at the bottom of the garden. 2 - because dad's are like magicians and the world is still an oyster and of course a new-born - just cause its great to watch them, cuddle them and see them grow.
Make the most of it . . .

Mum's Word
You're welcome,
Hi MNG,
I would love to see 3 teenagers run up and tackle you to the ground and possibly wind you in the process with squeals of delight
Maybe a cursory nod of the head is safer
I find it amusing that after the kids have greeted Mr M they come running up to me with their high pitched voices announcing that dad's home. They probably look at me wondering why I'm not jumping for joy like they are.
I am jumping....on the inside. And obviously the slow exhalation of relief isn't obvious enough for them.
Hope you have a good Father's Day MNG.
Love & stuff
Mrs M
