Happy Father's Day!!

Warning to Readers: IF you don't want to read what I have to say about my husband and Dad, skip this post

I wanted to be sure to pay a tribute to the "Dads" in my life today. First of all, there are a great many men that I know that I would also like to say Happy Father's Day to. My best friend's dad for one, Dale; Cameron, my brother-in-law; Ben, another brother-in-law; Grandpa Burton; Pa Laidley; my friends' husbands; my uncles; etc. The list could go on forever... and I'm sure I am missing someone. I wanted to touch on two of the men that I know best - my husband Jeremiah, and my Dad.

Jeremiah: Even though you are pretty much on the other side of the world right now, you are still an amazing father. The girls love to talk to you on the phone and listen to you better than anyone else. (Too bad for me right now, huh) Your sense of humor always brightens my day and your laughter is contagious. I hope our son has your sense of humor and love for life. I really need to catch more of that "care free" attitude you have sometimes though. Six years into this (marriage) I still wouldn't have changed a thing. I can't wait to spend more time with you and continue to raise our children together. I am sure the best is yet to come!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!




Dad: You have taught me so many amazing lessons in my life. Much of the wisdom I have today came from you. You truly are our number 1 fan. You supported us in everything we did - I don't think I could actually recall enough times to count on ONE hand when you weren't able to make it to something. I think in some ways you were too perfect of a dad (you left the rest of the guy world lacking). I don't see that adversely though because now that I will be blessed enough to have a son of my own, I can teach him the many things that you did (and Jeremiah does) right and help him become one of those outstanding gentlemen every girl will want to marry. I love you and Happy Father's Day!!
