Oh my, August is almost over, time slips by so quickly even with pandemic. We didn't really travel much this year because of Covid but we have been busy with our home improvement projects.
Father's Day and other special occasion came and passed and here I am just trying to catch up writing about it. I want to dedicate this late post as a tribute to a veteran Dad who didn't let age deter him from finishing his school. He became a father at a very early age with his first marriage and he had to enlist in the Navy to provide for his two children. Unfortunately they grew apart and the kids grew up not knowing their father very much. I wish they have a good relationship but it's sad that they don't. Anyway, I am glad that he is very dedicated to our children.
John signed up in the military when he was 20 years old. He did not go to college after he finished high school because he had to work. Realizing that the place he grew up in will not give him anything challenging, he signed up in the Navy. He originally planned to go to Air Force but the recruiter he talked to did not show up. Since the recruiter of the Navy next door was there, he decided to try them. The guy showed him pictures of his travels in the Navy and my husband got inspired.
This was the simple gift that we gave him.
I am glad that he was able to get his master's done. He didn't get to do schooling until he got done with his 20 years in the service but I think it's worth it.
The kids handmade cards.
Hooray, I finally got to finish this post. It's been sitting as a draft for almost two years, holly guacamole. What have I been doing all these time? Lol. Oh well, I hope I can finally get back to writing regularly again now that our bathroom renovations are almost done.
