Happy Father's Day to my two men.

The women in my family are loud, passionate, tough and tenacious. People sometimes joke it must take a special sort of man to keep up. The truth is the women in my family are strong because the men in my family are giants. We are safe to take a stand because we know they've got our backs covered.   

My dad is a hard working, generous and kind soul. He's quiet and thoughtful. He speaks words only when he's measured them out. His life philosophy is all about choosing to love, to be positive, to hold hope, to follow through.  I have never once asked him for help and had him say no.  Not once.  

My husband is steadfast, giving, talented and gentle. He watches people and projects and quietly makes adjustments to protect, to honor, to support. He knows how to celebrate. I have never doubted his commitment to me, my girls or his faith.  Not once.

I am grateful beyond measure.  You matter greatly.  Thank you.
