Fathers Day

First of all :

My husband is the most amazing Daddy in the whole world... 

They have an incredible relationship, they say Girls are "Daddy's Girls" that is very true 

A true father is always there. 

He is there to spill tears of happiness when his eyes fall upon his infant daughter. 

He is there with arms to catch her when she takes her first steps or stumbles. 

He is there to teach her at the youngest age, even though she might not understand half of it. 

He is there to help her color inside the lines, make her grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, and tie her shoes. 

He is there to hug her and kiss her on her first days of school, and to walk her in if need be. 

He is there to teach her and tease her and laugh with her. 

He is always there to embarrass her, but that's part of life. 

He is there to tell her to go ask her mother, when her mother told her to ask him. 

He is there to lecture her, prepare her for the monster called high school. 

He is there to put up with her teenage moods and her relationships. 

He is there to approve, disapprove, accept and forgive. He is there to give her a big bundle of flowers when she graduates, to smile when her name is called and feel proud. 

He is there to embrace her and kiss her before she goes to live and learn a thousand miles away. 

He is there to see her become a working woman, to walk her down the aisle (or not, if her independence and stubbornness prevail after all). 

He is there to watch her grow as the lines on his face grow. 

He is there to welcome her home, always, and let her hug him and smell the smell she remembers from childhood, the warm, protecting, comforting smell of dad. 

But most of all, he is always there to love her. And she is always there to love him back.We love you, Happy Fathers Day.

Happy Fathers Day to the most amazing Daddy in the whole world-

During those crazy teenage years, I must have been every parent’s nightmare!!!! It’s no use trying to fool you, but I was one of those hardheaded girls who thought that she knew everything there was to know about life, as do most teenagers. 

My dad worked hard to support us and to provide us with only the best in life. If we wanted something he would do his best to try and get it for us. Basically, he did what most parents try to do and that is to provide their child with their heart’s desire.

Not only did my Dad provide a stable “material” background for us to grow up in but he and of course my Mom provided us with the absolute ideal environment in which to thrive – a stable home-life. For this I am truly grateful. In fact, I don’t recall a moment in my life when I ever heard my parents fighting. This loving stable home set me on the path to providing me with the tools I have today, in order to deal with whatever life throws my way in so far as my own family is concerned.

They always made sure we had food, clothes and fresh air to breathe, they made sure we were taken care of before they were. Christmas time would come and we would have presents and it didn't matter if they didn't.  When i moved out of my home, every night Dad would call to make sure i was home before he would go to bed, he also kept that up our first year of marriage, then finally I told him it wasn't necessary, then the day we told him he would be a grandpa, the tears ran down his cheeks, Brooke makes him smile, they have a fun relationship. 

Thanks Dad for being the Dad that you didn't have to be
