A Girl's Best Friend

This post is a little belated but my arms have been a bit too full to type lengthy posts. I think Tony will understand.

When I found out I was pregnant last fall it was really no surprise when at my ultrasound they told me I was carrying another girl. Wish as we might, I have always said if I had boys they would probably turn out to be wife beaters - I don't consider myself to be top-of-the-line mother material and I know that the relationship between a mom and her son is pretty important to how he will turn out. Equally important is the relationship between a father and his daughters. Look at our little family of four girls and you have to conclude (and rightly so) that Tony is an AWESOME dad! I think God gave our girls the best.

Happy Belated Father's Day, Tony! Thanks for caring about all your girls (me included =) We often hear our Sunday School teacher, Sis. Campbell, say that her adult girls know they can call their dad anytime during the day if they need him. I know that you will be the same way when your girls are grown. And you are certainly the one they will be turning to...because you care and they know it!

Tribute to My Dad


Anticipating
Holding
Napping
Playing
Pushing me on the swing
Teaching
Instructing
Disciplining
Encouraging
Being an example by showing me
Praying
Guiding
Directing
Loving
Working together at the school
Sharing me with the other man in my life
And repeating this cycle with my kids

Thanks for being the greatest example of Christ. I remember you admonishing the dad's on Father's Day each year that anyone can be a father but it takes someone special to be a dad. You were the best example of that very true statement. Thank you! And I love you!
