May your day be filled with memories. Whether you are missing someone, playing with someone, longing to be with someone, or waiting for someone — I wish you a day filled with capturing life right now. Days like this, set apart for special parental figures in our lives, can be a rich mix of strong emotions. Since I’ve experienced the missing and longing and waiting surrounding days like today, I take a moment to remember the heart ache. It’s important. Yet it’s also important to remember the good and fun and love that happens on days like today. Whatever you’re feeling, know that it’s okay — and it would make a good topic for tomorrow’s Memoir Monday.
(I know Stacey has issued a different charge, but since we believe in options around TWT, I think it’ll be okay. 🙂 Remember, too, you don’t have to write off the charge either. You can write whatever strikes you at the moment. The important thing is to Write: It’s Good For You!)
In honor of Father’s Day, here’s a photo of one of the best things this dad (who has stolen my heart all over again in this photo) does with his young children — play + giggles!

Ruth, I like the way you said, “I wish you a day filled with capturing life right now.” Yesterday in between showers we went and had our first family photos made. I figured since the oldest boy is fixing to move out of state for grad school and the middle is going off to college, I needed to do just that “capture life right now”.

Ahhhh!
Thanks for posting a second charge (and that photo I love) for tomorrow’s MM.
Options: it wouldn’t be Writing Workshop without them. 🙂
