Today being father's day I decided on a special cigar. I broke out a Padron 1964 Diplomatico maduro to enjoy on the balcony this evening. First time I have ever smoked one of the Padron anniversary cigars and it was a magical experience. I sat out on the balcony with my wife after our daughter had fallen aleep and just enjoyed the moment. I thought of everything I have been blessed with in my life, a great family, a healthy daughter and a loving wife. Earlier in the day I had paid a visit to the cemetary to place flowers on my father's grave. He had passed away in February of this year and sitting on the balcony thinking back to all the sacrifies my father made for us to be able to enjoy the lifestyle we have was a very moving experience. It was a perfect evening, and I know that my father would have enjoyed sitting out and talking to me about all the old times with his father and how life was when he was growing up. It's times like these when you can sit back and reflect on the important things in life which lets you gain perspective on the small day to day stuff.
I hope everyone had a great day and were able to spend time with your familes whether you are a father or not. Life passes us by so quickly that we sometimes forget to appreciate all the good that we have.
