My Guys

This is for all the wonderful, special men in my life. First, I want to say to the father of my children, Chris, thank you. Thank you for the extraordinary, beautiful children you helped me create. They are anchors for their very special families. Next, to my new husband, Dennis, I would say Happy Father's Day just in case your own children are too busy with their own lives to remind you of how interesting and significant you made their childhoods. I wonder if your daughter knows that your favorite picture sits on our piano...the one of you and her dancing, looking into each other's eyes at her wedding. I wonder if she knows how she hurts you when she ignores your special days.

Next, I want to say Happy First Father's day to my son, Brandon. We are all excited for not only your adoption of Haylie, but for the upcoming brand new addition to our growing little family. We are, of course, rooting for a boy but mostly we are cheering for the fabulous father you will be and already are to Haylie. You are a warm, caring, interesting, and sensitive individual and I can't wait to hold that new baby. Haylie is already a total joy and will be such a fun big sister!

Last, but never least, to my son-in-love, Paul, Heather's husband. Thank you for making my daughter a mother. She has always wanted to be just that. You have supported her in everything she has ever wanted to do. You are the spiritual head of your household and I love you for that. Your children are so beautiful and will be lovely wives to their husbands. You and Heather have set an example of what a hardworking, Christian household should look like. Paul, you have been unfailing in your love for my daughter and your babies. I could not ask for a more perfect partner for Heather. I hope your Father's Day is very special, indeed. I love you.

Happy Father's Day everybody!
