A tribute to the men in our lives
Firstly my dad..
We have had our moments over the years and come good, I appreciate our long chats on the phone and the big hugs when we catch up. You're a real Aussie larrikin which instilled a dorkiness in me that I will never shake.
Violet and I moved to Victoria from beautiful Queensland so she had her grandparents in her life, at the time it was not an easy move but here we are country Gippslanders!
Steve Violet's dad is a cherished part of her life.
A dad's presence is so very important and you offer her something different to myself that she needs.
It is important that kids have different influences in their life as it supports them to form their own identity in the early years.
She loves going to your house and spending time with you.
We never speak poorly of each other and it's cute that you told Violet that I am your best friend.
We have good thing going co-parenting, I am grateful that there has never been any drama and it has always been easy.
And lastly Graeme, mum's partner. You're a real gem, so kind and supportive of others. I see you as my step dad and include you as part of the family as if you have always been in our lives.
Happy Father's Day to these three men!! ๐๐ซถ
