Happy Father's Day!

There are so many wonderful fathers that have touched my life.  I am so lucky to have a loving, supportive and truly kind man as mine.  I also have two incredible grandfathers that have (among many things) taught me important values about faith, strength and generosity.  There is my father-in-law, who has welcomed me with open arms into his family like his own daughter.  My brother and brothers-in-law who are all amazing fathers, loving my nieces and nephews selflessly.  My uncles and godfathers who are all role model fathers and men.

I am married to a man whose daughter is utterly obsessed with him. She can't take her eyes off him because she loves him so much.  There is no better thing to see.  No better feeling.  I truly am lucky.

Today we honor those people in our lives - we say thank you.  We know it is not an easy road when you are constantly being tested by needs and wants of children, spouses, friends, and work.  This makes you even more special.

I also want to send special love and appreciation to one father in particular, Steve's Uncle Leslie.  I just want to say that you mean the world to us, and you and Aunt Cindy have taught us so much about loving each other, among others, selflessly and deeply.  You have dedicated your life to genuine kindness.  You have made the world a better place.  We love you and we thank you.



And, here's my favorite picture of the day.
