Happy Fathers’ Day to all our dads, grandads & father figures in our lives who keep us on the straight & narrow…or maybe even, lead us astray.
On a day like today, we are also mindful of how hard it can be if our dad’s are in heaven or we are separated from them for other reasons. Much love to all!
