What is a Dad?

A Dad is someone who wants to
Catch you before you fall,
But instead, picks you up,
Brushes you off and
Lets you try again. 

A Dad is someone who wants 
To keep you from making mistakes, 
But instead, lets you find your own 
Way, even though his heart breaks 
In silence when you get hurt. 

A Dad is someone who holds you
When you cry, scolds you when you
Break the rules, shines with pride 
When you succeed, and has faith
In you even when you fail. 


Dad and his boys. Can I just say how lucky our kids are to have such a great Dad? He's stern when he needs to be, yet gentle when compassion is required. He's an awesome teacher, role model, and provider.  There's nothing he wouldn't do for his boys! He's coached way too many little league teams to count, never missed a game or practice, and always encouraged the boys in whatever they chose to do. Role model, this is a big one! Our boys are going to make great husbands one day because their Dad taught them how to respect and love!  I have to give thumbs up to Pop in Heaven for teaching Brian how to be the best Father and husband!

So today as we celebrate Father's Day, I thank God for blessing me and our boys with Brian!
