Today is typically a bittersweet day - honoring my Father who provides, sacrifices, loves and cares for our family each and every day, and has since day one. He is a true leader, our family's strength, and truly one of a kind. He always said "I Loved Her First" was our song, and that he truly did. I remember him looking at me the night that my husband supposedly asked him for my hand in marriage; it was a look I can't really explain. I had no clue about their speaking, but remember him looking at me that night with just a gaze of admiration - thinking to myself..."Dad!?" I imagine it's the look any father would give his baby girl; but I truly felt his love in that moment and am thankful for the love he's given me my entire life. He has always set an example when it comes to marriage and friendship within a relationship for our family; loving my mother with a true sincerity that you often times don't find anymore. In my single years, I always joked and told him "you've raised the bar too high". It sort of became our thing. He continues to raise that bar with each passing day and year - however, I am truly blessed to of found love in a man that he truly respects and cares for - and I can assure you, there is no better gift than that.
This year holds an extra level of sweetness, in that I am honoring my husband as a father; a love and pride that I can't describe in words. He is a true blessing to our baby boy and to our family. A man who will teach love, respect, laughter, strength and so much more, simply through the example that he sets for our children. For these things, for him...I am forever grateful.
