That’s Amore

Today is Father’s Day, and I have been blessed once again with a “swingset moment.” (a moment as an “adult” when I am whisked back into a moment of yesteryear) My dad loves music! For Father’s Day Jason and I gave him the cd, Dino: The Essential Dean Martin, including my all time favorite, “That’s Amore.” Of course we put the cd in right away and before we knew it Dad and I were dancing, like the good ‘ol days. As he twirled and even “dipped me” life instantly rewound about 20 years…only this time, I didn’t have my feet on top of his. Dad has shared so many things with me in my 27 years- hugs & kisses, his fun sense of humor, encouraging words, the example of a life led by faith, and let’s not forget the awesomely contagious smile he has when he is enjoying his favorite music and dancing. I am blessed by this memory and the fact that today we made a new memory. There’s nothing better than feeling the warmth of a childhood memory and then getting the opportunity to create a new memory to be enjoyed tomorrow. Thanks Dad…Now That’s Amore!
