My Favorite Dads

With Father's Day being tomorrow I wanted to recognize the wonderful dads in my life. My father known to Ruthie as PawPaw is the best dad a girl could ask for. He has 3 daughters, so you know he is a patient man. We have phone conversations that last forever. I so enjoy talking to him and catching up. He has a laugh that no one could imitate. It is said by everyone that meets us that I am a carbon copy of him. I am proud to say that they are right. I just hope that I give Ruthie the love, kindness, and patience that he has always shown me.

I was blessed with 2 fathers. Billy my step-father has been married to my mom for 28 years. He has 2 daughters of his own, but never distinguished a difference between them and Lori and myself. He was at every dance recital, beauty review, sporting event, and every other thing that I was involved in. He also has the patience of a saint. He himself living in a house of 3 women and only 1 bathroom. Needless to say, that can be nerve wrecking in itself. He is the best breakfast cook that you will ever meet. I miss having a full breakfast on Sunday mornings. It is his speciality. I take advantage of it everytime I get the chance.

Dustin was also blessed with a wonderful father. He will do whatever it takes you help you get what you want or need. I have a feeling that this characteristic might be a problem with Ruthie. We will have to reign him in. He works hard so that his family is well taken care of and I have never heard him complain of a hard day. I love to hang out with him. Before Dustin and I got married we watched Sex and the City every Sunday night. Dustin refused to watch. Ruthie's Pop E does lots of fun stuff like that. He will shop, go out to eat, or do whatever we want to do.

Lastly, but CERTAINLY not least there is the newest father in my life, Dustin. I have been so amazed at what a great father he is. He LOVES Ruthie beyond words. He works so hard so that I can stay at home and be with our daughter. He cleans, cooks, irons, feeds Ruthie, changes diapers, and much much more. You could not ask for a better husband or father. Ruthie has brought so many things into our life. The biggest one being a greater love for one another. I knew I loved him before, but seeing him as a father has deepened my love for him more than I thought was possible.

As you can tell, Ruthie and I are so blessed to have these 4 wonderful men in our life.
God has been so good to me.

Happy Father's Day!
