Wishing all the Good and Loving, Hardworking, and Fabulous Dads a Very
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Always taking family snapshots, the man behind the camera ~
My father-in-law, Cornelius Hauck, who has been like a father to me since the day his son and I married. My husband is extraordinarily blessed to have grown up with a man such as he. I admire my father-in-law so much for his kindhearted spirit, sense of humor, wit, steadfastness, generosity, interest in and gentleness with our children, and fairness in all things family. He leads by example. My father-in-law is ROCK STEADY!–and turning 90 next year!!! I wish everyone could have a father with all his same qualities–the world would be a much better place for it. He’ll never see this post, but I am wishing him an extra special Happy Father’s Day!
Good Morning Gloucester

When we think of Fathers we remember the Faith
That they had in all their conquered deeds
We reflect upon the blisters on their hands
From the way they labored for each child to feed
A Father is to each child a firm foundation
That has given them guidance along life’s trail
Truly a gift of our Lord of all creation
The Captain of our Life’s Schooner sailed
We also remember each hard lessen in life
That they taught us how to defend
Guiding us to a choice that was right
So that the challenge would come to an end
On this day we wish to impart to all of you
Our greatest wish for a Happy Father’s Day
We thank you for each day in Christ renewed
It is their Love that has guided our way
