Just wanted to take this time to say Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful fathers out there that are there for their children. There is nothing like parenthood but I do have to say that it is one of the hardest things I have ever done and often feel inadequate at it. My husband is a wonderful father. He loves our son and would do anything for him. He wants him to have better than what we have had. He has probably changed as many diapers as I have and give him as many baths as I have. He has coached baseball, football, and even soccer even though he had never played soccer himself. He has become so much more since becoming a father. My one regret is that we didn't also have a daughter for him to love as well. He loves my nieces as if they were his own and I dare any boy to hurt one of them. They better watch out because Uncle Steve will be after them at least as fast as their own fathers.
I have to say that Father's Day makes me very sad. I miss my own father terribly. My Daddy was my hero and I miss him so much. I would love to see him one more time. Give him a hug and hear him call me Doll. I wish he could see the wonderful man that his grandson, Zach, has become, see how beautiful his granddaughters are, see the grandson that was named after him and to see the two grandchildren that he has never seen. I would love to share a meal with him and fix him a white cake with carmel icing. I hope that he can see us from where he is and that he is proud of his family and how we have managed since his left us. I hope to see him again one day in heaven.
It is really hard for me to understand those dad's that don't want to be with their kids or how they can chose to be with one over the others. Those Dad's don't know what they are missing out on.
