Father's Day

Thank you DADS (and GRANDPAS)

Thank you for the FUN you bring...for the goofy and silly...the flying and dancing in the parks...

 

 Thank you for your strong arms that always catch and always protect...for providing security and confidence so we can soar...

 Thank you for quiet moments of love and conversation...for listening and validating and for just BEING there...

 
 
 Thank you for shoulders to ride on and willingness to carry "sweet bundles" so little legs can rest...

 Thank you for passing on wisdom and taking the time to talk through LIFE! And for helping us realize that it's about moments of being together and laughter and loving...

 Thank you DADS for your priceless impact on our lives...for being the first person through which we see "ourselves"...Thank you for building up, encouraging, guiding, loving, providing, playing, laughing, praying...for integrity, for your example, for making the right choices, even when they are hard...This day is for you! We love you!!!

...and to my own hubby...

I will be honest that I sometimes get jealous of my own daughters when I watch how he is with them...how he chooses to participate in their lives in the ways that THEY feel most loved (even if it's not something he necessarily 'enjoys' doing)...a man of honor, who values his relationship with each of them and takes on the hard choices with honesty & integrity...who provides for us unswervingly and still has time to "play"...who loves ME (their mom) with such sacrificial love that it's humbling...

thanks babe, for being an AWESOME Daddy to our girls...WE LOVE YOU!!!
