For the Men in My Life

(** The beginning of this blog is a little downer, and please note that any attempt at humor is because I do not do well with funerals and the like)

My brother in law called us the other day to let us know that his wife's father had passed. Sis in Law's mother had passed when Sis In Law was only 15 ( I did not know this. Clearly my interrogation skills are not up to par!) so the passing of her Father was really hard to take. She was an only child, too. Whammy, Whammy, Whammy. We had spent time with her dad and he was always entertaining and outgoing. It is a loss for who knew him.

In the process of this conversation, my brother in law commented that I only thank and appreciate the women that read my blog and that surely he was not the only man to read my blog.

And then he told me I was really funny. This is second to telling me I am  a good cook, so this blog goes out to the men in my life. Especially my brother in law.

I believe it is important to have strong men in your life. Physically strong is a plus, but we all need men who are spiritually, emotionally, and passionately strong.

I am very lucky to have a firm foundation with the men in my family, the man that I married, the man who is my brother in law, my sons and my nephews from my husband's side of the family and mine, and the friends that I have had since the way back days.

I know that if called upon in a crisis, every man would do what they could to help me or my family.

I will keep you in mind as I write these blogs and not make them too female gross. Though I have a mammogram appt in the morning and will probably make some boob jokes, but I will put a disclaimer in front of the blog. But who are we kidding? You like to talk about boobs as much as we do. :)

For all my men friends, I love you and appreciate each and every one of you. Keep on reading!
