“Creative Memories” are not just projects for women who enjoy capturing memories by  pasting photos in books. Dads, you too should be creating some of your own memories for your kids that can be etched into the hallways of their mind.

As I reflect upon this year’s Father’s Day, I am reminiscing of days gone by with my own dad.  It has been 13 years since my dad breathed his last breath on this earth.  Though he is gone, he gave me more than enough great memories to last a lifetime.

When I think of all the times we spent together, I smile, laugh, and cry, all in the same minute.  The times we would go to hockey practice in the wee hours of the morning, tying my skates, boating, fishing, golfing, learning to drive the car, learning together to ride a motorcycle, hugs, laughing, playing table games, traveling, camping, church, meal times, etc. My dad knew he wouldn’t be around forever, so he made sure he created enough memories for his son to last a life time.

Thanks Dad.

Are you making memories with your children that will last a life time?
