Happy Father's Day!

Today was Father's Day and I just wanted to take a moment and honor the Father's in my life.

First, I want to honor my amazing husband Darin. I am so grateful that I not only have a wonderful husband but that my children have a wonderful father. We are greatly blessed to have him in our lives. I'm also grateful for Darin's Dad and the relationship that Darin has with him. I'm grateful that He lives closer to us now so that Granpa Bruce and Grandma Sharon can be more a part of our lives. And Finally I want to honor my Dad. I feel that Mother's Day and Father's Day is kind of bitter sweet without my parents alive anymore. I'm so grateful this day for my Dad and for all he did for me. I don't think we always had the greatest of relationships, but I always knew he was there for me and I always knew that if I ever needed anything he was there to help me. My children loved his visits. Especially Eyn considering they would always go exploring somewhere and stop by the store for a soda pop and a candy bar. I loved to watch him with my children. I know that he is still cheering us all on. I know that he is applauding loudly as Elizabeth competes in a competition. I know he is running right along with Eyn down the basketball court encouraging him on. I know that he is watching my children grow and helping them in ways that he never could while he was on this earth. I also know and am so grateful for the knowledge I have that someday we will all be reunited together as a family and what a wonderful reunion that will be.
How grateful I am for these wonderful men in my life!!

This is one of my favorite pictures! I love the smile on my Dad's face!
