It is 10pm on Father's Day and after my Dad (and Mom) worked tirelessly taking care of the kids on Saturday (so we could do a room makeover) and then on Sunday so my Dad could help us finish the room makeover - I actually forgot to give him his Father's Day card! I feel horrible. I realize that being a parent can often be a thankless job when you have little ones. But I have no excuse! I am not exactly little... but I still find myself needing my Dad a lot. He is a rock in our life and he is always there to help with projects - from hanging pictures, to fixing odds and ends, and the biggest job of all, helping us raise our children with love and guidance. He is so very patient. I am pretty sure he must have a battery inside him because he never tires. I am much younger than my Dad yet I am sure that I require much more sleep. What does Super Dad look like? I am pretty sure he looks just like my Dad.
And not to be outdone by Super Dad is my own husband and Super Dad to amazing Noah and precious Cecily. Brien gave up his weekend (and 2 days of surfing) to decorate a room! I am pretty sure that there are not too many husbands who would debate paint colors, curtains, bedding options and pillow placement like my husband. He is passionate and committed to the cause. He is why Noah is not at all phased by this past year. My husband can stare down bad situations and somehow find the shiny spot, even if it is buried under a big pile of dirt. He is always the first to notice what is Cecily is doing - not what she is not doing. He is the first to find someone's strength and not their weakness. I am so very grateful for his optimisitc and positive attitude. He is caring, supportive, funny (very, very funny) and a giver. I think he is one of the most loyal people I have ever met. I know that Noah and Cecily will grow up with integrity and honor because of their Daddy - and their Grumpy Gramps...
So late as it may be... I've always been taught better late than never! Happy Father's Day to the two men who make my world turn in the right direction. Thank you for your effort this weekend in transforming Nia's room into a magical, butterfly retreat. I would be lost without you. I could never say thank you enough for what you have done for me and what you continue to do for me every day! Onwards and upwards!
