We had the unique joy of having all our immediate family in the same town since our wedding just over 2 years ago. After the baby shower, we had both dads together. We spent time visiting at our house and enjoyed barbeque at our house with Robert, Andrea, and Brodie all around the table together. Dad's are special and we are thankful for ours and have much respect for both. A man told me last week, "Dad's tend to get slippers, ties or cologne on Father's Day - they don't even had dad's stand up in church like they do the Mother's on Mother's Day". Dad's do get overlooked a lot. They are usually the ones' who get wet when someone needs an umbrella, get sunburned when someone needs a hat, and sweat like a faucet when a kid is playing ball in the blistering heat. Somehow dad's can stay up late until a child gets home, say a lot in a few words, and be strength when needed. It's a gift!
Mine has taught me everything from how to throw a softball, how to plan for retirement, and to keep things simple! People will hurt you but love them anyway. "Do your best and forget the rest." He continues to quietly serve the Lord wherever he feels he should. I have grown in great respect for him and appreciate how our relationship has grown in the last few years. I also love watching my brother be a daddy to Brodie. He's all about Andrea and that little boy! No doubt about it. He's doing a great job! Family is so special and hope you enjoy seeing a few pix of ours and growing!
