Repost- Anyone can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a Daddy!

Since Father’s Day happens during the summer, Trinity chose Friday (September) to have a day to honor Daddy’s.   Eli made Ben some cute crafts and they had donuts together (Donuts for Dad, of course!)

The magnitude of my kiddos having a Godly, loving, and available dad is not lost on me.  I won the lottery in this department twice.  The first time, with my Daddy, who has no blood relation to me, but chose to love me every single day of my life and be the most amazing dad that I could have ever dreamed of or asked for.  There was not a moment that I was not his “real” child, and I have often thought of how terrifyingly different my life would have been without him!  (Note- no discredit to my amazing mom either, but every daughter needs a great dad!)  The second time is when I married the man I have loved almost my whole life!  I joke that I “trained” him, because we spent our high school years babysitting together, but the truth is that he was made to be a dad!  I am so thankful that he takes the time to help tuck the kids into bed, coach their teams, come to their parent/teacher conferences, and invite them to Georgia football games!  I am so thankful that I get to have him as a teammate as we tread these sometimes rough waters of parenting together!
