When Steve and I fell in love and got married {back when we had it all figured out} we knew we wanted to be parents–but we had no idea what parenting involved. We also had no idea our first son would be born with a disability. Life is crazy and parenting is hard. Really hard. I’m thankful I married a man who is an excellent father.
He takes time to listen to our boys.
He respects their individuality.
He holds them and kisses them. I love that he is so affectionate.
He pushes them to try new things, explore and grow.
He gives good advice.
He shows them what it looks like to work hard.
He tucks them in each night and prays for them.
He lets them be imperfect.
He admits when he’s wrong.
He believes in them.
He loves them just as they are.
It’s beautiful to watch. We are so imperfect. We have our ups and downs, our normal and our crazy.
This pic above was just normal moment–ordering sushi and the boys melting into their dad. I’m so glad I caught it with my iPhone.
Father’s Day is just a few days away. We’ll be celebrating with a few small gifts and a special meal. Steve, you are an amazing father. We love you!
Lisa – wonderful post. So touching!
Love this!!
I love this photo; it tells a story. It’s priceless! In this day and time it’s a blessing to have two loving parents in the home. Any one can be Dad, but it takes a special person to be a FATHER.
