Father’s Day

It rained all night. I slept with the window wide open because the sound of rain soothes my head and heart. As I sit drinking the perfect cup of tea on this wet morning I remember my dad. I think I started calling him Tom when I was about 13 years old, now I wish I had kept calling him Daddy. You can find Tom’s in the world but you only get to call one person daddy, I adored mine.
