Jun. 15, 2008 - Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my DH

To the man who held my hand and dried my tears when our first daughter died.

To the man who held my hand and assured me everything would be alright when I went into premature labor with our second daughter.

To the man who didn't tell our DD was close to death her first night in the neonatal unit, because he knew she would pull through.

To the man who held our DD so tender the first time he got to hold her.

To the man who helped feed, diaper, and bath her.

To the man who read her bedtime Bible stories to her before bed.

To the man who stayed up all night with her after I was up with her for 3 night straight when she sick and still went to work the next day.

To the man who played legos with her and dressed her dolls.

To the man who taught her how to catch a ball, to ski, and fish.

To the man who kept me from pinching DD's head off when she misbehaved.

To the man who left work early to come home to deal with a rebellious 13 year old who had put her mother at her wits end.

To the man who had the courage and calmness to drive with her when she got her permit.

To the man who took off from work to take her to get her driver's lisences.

To the man who let tears run down his cheeks when he read a special prayer at her graduation.

I couldn't think of our better father and example of Christian manhood for our daughter to have. I love you.

Happy Father's Day to the other 2 Dads In My Life

To my daddy, I admire you so much. You are a great example of a godly man. I love and in some ways I will always be your little girl. Thank you for being such an involved granddad to our DD.

To my FIL, I thank you for your son and for making me part of your family. Thank you for being such a wonderful grandfather to our DD.
