The Men in My Life

I am well aware of the importance of having a Father in the home. So, for just a moment, I would like to take a minute to say Thank You to the men in my life.

To My Daddy: Thank you for being the wonderful man that you are. For always providing for the temporal, emotional and spiritual needs in my life. For being someone I can always confide in. For always reminding me that I am blessed. Thank you for always pushing me to achieve something greater. For teaching me right from wrong. For being a wonderful example of service. For supporting my dreams. Thank you for always being there, no matter what. For praying for learning experiences. For being faithful. For being worthy. You are my Hero.

To My Papa: Thank you for my childhood. For always making me feel special. For taking me on so many fun vacations...these memories will be cherished always. Thank you for sharing your talents with others. Thank you for being an example of hard work. Thank you for your service for this great country. For your great love for my son.

To My Grandpa Daniel: Thank you for sharing your knowledge. For encouraging me to reach beyond myself. For making the time for me (I loved all those times you stopped to see me on your way to CA or MO). Thank you for making your home a place I always want to visit. Thank you for always making me laugh.

To My Father in Law: Thank you for raising such a wonderful son. For being a wonderful example of humility. For welcoming me into your family. Thank you for being understanding. Thank you for always being willing to help.

To My Husband: Thank you for being a great provider for our family. Thank you for taking the time to play with Dylan. For not raising your voice when I frustrate you. For trying to distract me and make me laugh. Thank you for not laughing at my crazy dreams. For encouraging me to be me. For always letting me know that you love me. Thank you for being a partner in parenting.

To My Heavenly Father: Thank you for giving me all of these wonderful men who have helped make my life so wonderful.
