Father’s Day

Trophies

Some of my father's and brothers' motorcycle trophies

 

It is funny how something comes out of nowhere, and it can remind us of someone, and they are right there beside us.

Dad, no matter how far away I am, I always have you in my heart pocket.

Memory: I am eight years old and riding in front of my Father on his motorcycle. We are rounding up the cows for milking. My Dad says that I am ready to ride on my own. I grab the throttle, I can feel him smiling. He says yes, you are ready and jumps off. I glance back and see him standing, still smiling, yelling, "Look where you're going!" I look ahead and see the field, the cows, the blue sky, and the freedom to explore.

The feeling has never left.

 

Happy Father's Day Dad

Yann

and Martin.

  1. This post is so joyful!
    Even though I’m guessing that you must really miss each of these dads, in special, unique ways, this year.
    Your memory paints a picture of joy.
    God bless you, Corey!

    We were both fortunate to have such wonderful fathers in our lives and so many wonderful memories of them.

    Such a wonderful post for Father’s Day. Those trophies are each and every one a memory of a good event. Enjoyed Sacha’s post of the journey north from Willows to Seattle as well.

  9. Beautiful. I wouldn’t have been so brave, I don’t think. Would love to see a photo of you as a little girl…I don’t know if we ever have? xo
