Today is a day we celebrate our dads and our husbands (whose kids are too young to pull Father’s Day off on their own). Happy Father’s Day to all the awesome dads out there.

I am so thankful for my awesome dad and father in law…who will help me or are there for me whenever I need.

To my amazing husband, I am so blessed to have you to do life with. You are an incredible dad! Although there may be a slight lean in society’s pendulum that mother’s do more of the child raising…I would not be here without you. You lead our family and make me a better mom by how you demonstrate daily love and patience with our kids. Thank you for being fun, loving, wise, humble, available and present. You are the best dad. My heart hurts for the kids that don’t have dads like you or dads at all. I am excited for the opportunity to open our home to foster care kids and watch you love on and build into kids that have not had a Godly role model. You will shine and I will be there working beside you. What a gift.

One of the best compliments we could give you, came our little four year old. When asked what he loved about you, he said “he gives bigger hugs.” That is the truth no matter how we love, you encourage us to be more real, vulnerable and patient with one another which results in a deeper more profound love. Thank you. I love you boo.

Happy Father’s Day!
