I am so grateful and thankful that I have something wonderful to celebrate this Father’s Day. It is a day that I give thanks for the Father my husband is to my children.
He is a wonderful dad. He is very connected and has taken this job seriously, but never himself. He has carved out his own path by being a great dad in his own way.
He has patience and has always allowed the children to learn by doing. He spent hours teaching them to tie shoelaces, conquering the two- wheel bike, parallel parking, standard transmission, helping with Math, and forever fixing cars with his son, an endless amount of teaching.
There is no part of their world he is afraid to enter and is always ready to tease and make light of life’s troubles. A strong and steady influence he has been to all in our home.
He always jokes with them that he is a cool dad, in the know, up to date and forever in style. That is true, he has his own coolness and style, and is uniquely himself.
He isn’t one to brag, to toot his own horn, to want attention, but I know that our family wouldn’t be what it is today without him here.
His eyes light up when he sees the kids, and he aches when they ache, he is the first to speak of their triumphs and sorrows, and offers a new twist on how to see things.
It is a Happy Father’s day, for he is so happy being a dad!
He was born to do this and he does it so well.
We are all blessed to have him in our lives, his presence gives us strength, he is there to catch us when we fall but quickly he makes us start again. His greatest thrill is when we are successful on our own!
He by far is the biggest cheerleader our children and I have!
There is no rulebook he follows, no set of guidelines to adhere to, but instead he brings himself.
By being himself he has shown each of us how to be ourselves.
He shares all of himself with us and in the end we can share all of ourselves with him.
With gratitude and love,
Happy Father’s Day!
