soupornuts is moving!!! In order to have more control over my blog (how it looks, plugins, etc.) I have decided to move soupornuts.wordpress.com to soupornuts.com. When you come to soupornuts.com, you will see my new postings along with updated and edited versions of most of my old articles. Don’t panic if the site looks different the first couple of times you visit. I am trying different themes to see which I prefer.
I had a great Father’s day. Probably the best ever.
- My wife and two daughters cooked me the most fantastic breakfast of bacon, eggs and cinnamon rolls.
- I was able to go see my father and spend some quality time with him.
- I was able to visit my father-in-law and let him know how much we all care about him. (on Saturday)
- I took my wife and girls to see the new “Nancy Drew” movie. We all enjoyed it.
- We went for an ice cream cone and then sat outside to eat it.
- I received some “special” news just before the day ended. I’ll let you know more later.
Everything was absolutely the greatest – except for one thing. When we were getting into our vehicle after the movie, I saw a scene between a father and son that literally broke my heart.
The situation was obvious. A son, who no longer lives with his father, had come to see him and spend Father’s day with him. It was apparent that the day had come to an end. I witnessed the son making sure that his dad had the card and gift he had brought for his dad. All the while, the son was crying and hugging his dad. I guess the son was about 9–10 years old. You could tell that the father was miserable with the situation as well. The scene ended with the son getting into a truck with his mother and her friend while the father left in another car. I almost cried.
I have come to realize that I am truly blessed.
- I have a loving and devoted wife who makes sure to let me know how special I am in her eyes.
- I have two daughters who think that I hung the moon.
Thank you God for my wonderful life.

Like you I had a great father’s day because I got to spend some quality time with my boys. Also like you, the scene where the boy wanted his father but couldn’t be with him always braks my heart too! I weep for today’s children who have no Idea waht it means to have a real father. We are blessed!
