To any Papa's who read this blog out there in cyber space, this is for you!! I hope you enjoy your day, and relish in your families who love you SO MUCH !! I don't know what I would do without my own Dad, BUT also without my hubby. You know he is awesome, when both boys want to be him. There is NO wavering either. I give the boys other options and they are ADAMANT that they will build houses and be a "worker man" when they grow up.
To those of us, that cherish the men in our live, make sure you let them know ~ everyday ~ but today especially. For those of you that do not have your father's with you, be it military, distance, or even more tragic, my prayers are with you.
Russ and the boys on their joint birthday party, about 4 years ago.
CHILDREN NEED A DADDY
Children need a Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding them high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells them all is right
When they awaken frantic with
The terrors of the night.
Like being the great mountain
That rises in their hearts
And shows them how they might get home
When all else falls apart.
Like giving them the love
That is their sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
They'll always find him there.
