Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day....

I don't know that we always take the time to give enough props to the fathers of this nation.  We spend so much time focusing on the deadbeat dads and un-involved dads that we forget to recognize that dads that are doing it right.  So today, THAT is who this post is for.  It's not for the dads that stop paying child support and run out.  It's not for the dads that were not in the kids' lives by choice.  It's not for the dads that would sooner play a round of golf than attend their son's first baseball game.  This is for the dads that are doing it right.

Thank you.

I guess that's the first thing we, as moms, want to say.  Thank you.  Sometimes we get so frazzled in our day to day life that we forget to really say it.  Thank you for listening to us when we rant about the empty toilet paper roll again.  Thank you for doing your very best to be there at every game, every time.  Thank you for learning minecraft when it's the only thing the boy wanted to talk about.  Thank you for getting up with our little one that had a nightmare.  Thank you for picking up the puker from school.  Thank you for everything you do.

Maybe you're a biological dad.  Maybe you're a boyfriend or husband that has taken on that roll.  Maybe you're a stepfather.  Maybe you're a grandfather stepping up to the plate in the absence of an absent parent.  It doesn't matter to us.  You're all important.  You're daddies, papas, grandpas, Poppy's, Gramps, and every other name you're given.  You're important...more important than you can imagine.

We love you.  Thank you for being such great influences for the next generation!
