Happy Belated Fathers Day :-)

I know it's the day AFTER Fathers Day, but I wanted to share just a few of my feelings about two of the most important men that have impacted my life, and two great men that I praise God for, not just today, but everyday.

The first: My husband
We've been on quite a journey me and this man of mine. We've learned so much together and know that we are still learning and will continue learning as long as we live and breathe. I thank the Lord for allowing me to go on this journey with this wonderful man & father.
And in this process God has blessed us with three beautiful & wonderful babies.
I can't imagine life without him or our babies in it.   I'm so grateful I get to call him mine and so blessed to have this man as the father of our beautiful children!
Anyone that God has called to put up with me, love me and take care of me deserves a big reward in heaven! & I imagine his is pretty great ;-) .... This father's day he settled, and was very happy with, lots of homemade cards, hugs, and a day of golf  :-)  God, I love this man!

The second: My Dad.


 
      
Who although is celebrating the greatest fathers day ever with both my grandpa & Heavenly Dad, he was in my heart more so this Fathers Day :-) It seems like the older I get, the greater the ache becomes to see him again. It was 23 yrs this past April. Time has healed the hurt of loss, but the scar is still very tender and from time to time the pain returns for a moment. I am, however, so blessed to have had the privilege to been given the time I was with such a wonderful man of God. In the 11 yrs I had with him he taught me so much. And to this day I carry every talk, lesson, advice, hug, laughter, and everything he poured into my life with me. I can sincerely say even though he wasn't here the last 23 yrs, a part of him always was, in my heart. His love. And that part remains with me. Still teaching me in the moments I need it, & still whispering those words of encouragement, love and wisdom when I need to hear them.
I am certain this longing in my heart won't go away or grow smaller. But I do carry the hope and joy that one day I will see him again. I will be able to join him in celebrating our Father together. I so look forward to that day.
