Happy Father's Day to our Sailor

Thank you to my amazing husband,
who has learned to become such a wonderful father.
Thank you- for working long days, and never-ending nights to support your children. Thank you for putting their needs before yours. Thank you for teaching them God's ways. Thank you for always protecting them. Thank you for coming home after a long day at work, and still have the energy and excitement to play with your kids. They might not be able to show how much they appreciate you right now, but one day they will look back and be so thankful to have a dad like you. They will look back at all the times at the beach, outside playing soccer, walks to the basket ball court, learning how to tie their shoes, riding his first real bike, (and the list carries on) and feel so blessed to have you in their lives.You might feel like being Sailor has made you missed out on the little things, but it seems to me you've been able to be there to help them achieve those little mile stones that I couldn't. I waited for the longest time to see our baby crawl, and when does he do it? The weekend you came to visit. I waited patiently to see him take his first step- and when does he do it? Again, the weekend yo got to visit. Bub, you've impacted their lives more than you realize. I catch our older son, praying before his meals. I was surprised- I didn't even have to remind him. He told me you taught him. They look up to you so much. They want to be just like you. And you're doing a great job at setting a wonderful example. Thank you being such a hard working man that still manages to make time for his family. You'll always be a hero in their eyes, and in mine.

We love you.
Happy Father's Day
