June 7, 2022 – You’ll see a wee selection of Father’s Day cards below for perusal and purchase. And, if you would be so kind, share the best Dad Wisdom that’s been bestowed on you.

It feels like yesterday, though it was actually decades ago, days before I was to leave our small farming community to go away to college. My father sensed my mixed emotions and, well, honored them!

“I know you’re excited about where you’re headed, Jo, and it feels to me like you’re also reluctant to leave your friends behind,” he said. Then he told me a simple something that has held profoundly true every day since. “These friends you grew up with, you can keep them as good friends you continue to reach out to for the rest of your life. But if you were to stay here and not journey on to college, think of all the people you’ll miss meeting, all those waiting to become friends.”

Never in a million years would Dad have imagined that I’d one day be part of our great Cardie Community. Hmm, or would he, knowing how important kindred spirits and connection are to me? In any case, the card above, I created it for him. ❤️

How about you? What wisdom or insight has a favorite father bestowed on you?
