"Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad. ~Author Unknown"
Getting ready for some cam-time.
Last year for Father's Day this quote was printed on a picture frame that the boys and I gave to Jon. This quote holds such importance to the way we view fatherhood and parental relationships in general.
Jon, for the past three years you have shown us all what the definition of a true Dad is. You have given of yourself without seeking in return. You have been there for your family through good times, bad times, and all the times in between. You prove daily that your children's best interest are always at the center of your thoughts and actions. I am so proud of you and all that you've done for our family. You are an amazing teacher for our sons... they are lucky beyond measure to have you as their Daddy... to raise them, teach them, and love them. Through the obstacles that you have overcome you have learned what you want out of a relationship with your sons. Jon, you shine brightest as Daddy.
