Happy Fathers Day


Fathers are the behind the scenes parents in a lot of families.  Especially now that more moms are staying at home we’re finding that dads aren’t getting a great deal of recognition for being a parent in the home.  Just because they’re not there 24 hours a day doesn’t mean that they’re not doing a huge part.  Some dads work 12 hour shifts then come home and put a smile on after a hard day and love on their kids.  Other dads are right there with mommy, picking the kiddos up from daycare, sharing the chores and the discipline of their kids.  And then there are the dads who choose to stay at home with the kids while mom works. 

No matter which kind of dad you are I’m here to wish you a Happy Fathers Day.  To dads who take the time to throw the ball; watch Toy Story for the 100th time; Play Barbie; Play cars; Build Lego’s; make dinner.  This is for all the dads - you are amazing and we love you.

I’d like to add a special tribute to the dads that have touched my life.

Tom & Kaylee


First is of course my husband.  He’s been a great dad to our daughter Kaylee.  He loves spending time with her and enjoys everything new that she learns.  Kaylee loves her daddy so much.  When daddy is around the rest of the world could disappear and she wouldn’t care.




Rick & Kaylee

 Next is my husband’s father Rick.  He not only is an amazing father to Tom, but also a wonderful Granddaddy to Kaylee.  He raised Tom almost completely on his own while working full time, and he did a pretty good job.  He spends every free second with Kaylee, playing with her and taking her for walks.  He feeds her popsicles and cake when I'm not looking.



My dad, mom & me


Finally, my dad.  He was with me such a short time, but he made every moment count.  We had a special relationship that I will always remember.  He played with me when I was little and took me to work with him when he could.  He loved showing me off as his little miracle baby.  He was always around, mostly because he was sick and couldn’t work for large periods of time, but I cherished every moment.  He was a great man and will always mean everything to me.



Happy Fathers Day to all the amazing dads out there.  I hope your all your daddy dreams come true.
