father's day

So this morning was supposed to be my husband having father's day breakfast with his dad, he was in town since Weds and they had planned this weeks ago. Yesterday he found out that he wouldn't be able to do that since his dad's plans had changed and they were going to leave around 6:30 am instead of later. It was kinda hurt, he had worked hard to get someone else to cover that sift and was pretty upset over it (I would be too!) Though it's not his dad's fault, they were traveling with other people and he couldn't really hold everyone up on heading home it wouldn't be fair.

It's hard when things like this happen though, it's no one's fault but feelings are still hurt and your not sure what to do or where to turn. If it was me I would have flat out told my parents what had happened and that I was hurt, it would have been over and we would be all better. My husband though isn't sure what to do, but that's also because of the odd relationship he has had with his dad since he was little. I sit here and watch my husband fumble around with his emotions and it hurts me!! I know they are still figuring out how to be around eachother, and they aren't around each other enough to really know what to do with each other, but I can't help and I want to.

I am lost as to what I can do or say, kinda like watching my kids figure out friendships and all of those fun things, so I just sit there and watch. When he is ready, or more so when I think he is, I will give him a big hug and ask if he is ok. Right now isn't the time though, maybe tomorrow or the next day.

On the upside the kids and I made my husband some cupcakes topped with frosting and fondant. We wrote on it "Happy 1st Daddy's Day" and he loved. They made him cards and painted him pictures AND his Dad did bring him an AMAZING gift. He got a motorcycle that his dad completely refinished for him. You should have seen both of their faces light up when my husband saw it for the first time.... like kids on Christmas Day. All the kids have taken turns sitting on it and are excited to go for a ride!

Happy Fathers Day to my Papa Bear, Pops and especially my husband!! I love all 3 of you!!
