"Let's hear it for the boys!"

Okay Guys-
I want y'all to know that you are soworth celebrating this Father's Day.

As for Dad: I wrote in his card that he is the best representation of our heavenly Father with skin on. Really, we couldn't be more blessed. We are so blessed by your wisdom, and your love for others. Your patience and your grace with all of us has superceded what we deserved. You have always loved us openly and expressively, without reservation. You are a demonstrative and affectionate Dad, which often seems awkward for so many men. You have never held back from us, and we love you for it.

My brothers: You have followed in our Dads' footsteps. You are, each one of you, amazing Dads. I see you loving your kids in the same way; passionately, affectionately, attentively. You have each thrown yourself wholeheartedly into this role, even while each of you could be caught up in so many other things. Your children are showing it to. They wear your love well. I am so proud of you.

My husband: I couldn't be more grateful. The way you love us amazes me. Watching you wrestle with our kids on the floor, make goofy faces at them through the van window while you pump gas, despite who's watching, and basically, that no real fun is had unless Daddy is home. I tell them all the time that they have the best Dad in the whole world. I know they don't know the difference right now, but they will understand this more and more as they get older. You are a father who is leading us toward the Lord, most importantly. Thank you!
Happy Father's Day Guys!
