Well, I know the baby hasn't been born yet, but Blair is still considered a Daddy to me and I know he'll be one of the very best!!! He does such a good job at taking care of me and he will be the same way when this baby comes! I wanted to get him something small for Father's Day but I was really struggling to think of an idea because he really didn't need anything! So, I made him this candy posted while we were in Colorado and gave it to him a day early so he could take some treats to the baseball game. He loved it!! It was simple, but fun and cute!
Just a few days ago I ended up getting Blair another Father's Day present. It was something he has wanted since before we got married but we never had room for. Well, since we moved and have a ton more room I've been looking around for one but haven't had any luck until this week. It wasn't just something small like I was originally wanting to get...it was this huge monster:
Yes! We got a love sac! It was a lot bigger then we thought it would be though! And as you can probably tell, takes up our whole living room. It doesn't stay there all the time but when Blair wants to use it he'll pull it out and plop is there! It's big, but will be really fun! Happy Father's Day honey!! The baby loves you (it told me)! And I love you more than cookies!
My Daddy has also been awarded one of the 3 best Daddys in the world! Hearing Kelsey speak all about him an Father's Day was a great thing! I always think about him, but to hear all about him and the wonderful things he did in his life and the many important things he taught us was so fun! Ever since he got really sick right before my freshman year of high school he was all about spending time together and making fun memories. I told my mom after church how good of a job Kelsey did, then told her that any one of her kids could have given just as good of a talk about her and the important things she taught us. Between Dad and Mom, Kelsey and I agreed that we had pretty much the best parents ever! We all know that Mom was Dad's favorite, but after her all of us kids were tied for 2nd place! He loved us all the same and spent quality time with each of us to help us know how much he cared for and loved us. It makes me sad sometimes that Blair never got to meet him and that my kids won't be able to spend time with him here, but I take comfort in knowing that my baby is with him right now and will come to me in January right after spending time with it's Papa.
I miss my Daddy so much but I know that I'll be able to see him again and when that time comes I will be so excited to give him the biggest hug in the world!
I found this song a few weeks ago and it reminds me so much of my Dad! Even though it's a wedding song, so many of the phrases apply to our situation. It's called Daddy's Angel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otOiO7nKywU
Blair's Daddy is another recipient of this treasured honor! I remember the first time I met him...he said about 5 words to me the entire night. It made me wonder if he didn't like me, but Blair assured me that he just isn't very talkative, which is the complete opposite of me and Blair's mom...we both love talking! Well, I have learned since that first meeting that he really does like me and he cares so much for me and Blair. I was really sick one week a few months ago and Blair got a call from his Dad that lasted just about a minute or two. When I asked him afterwards why his dad called he said, "Oh, he was just thinking about you and wanted to see how you are feeling." I know that was a little thing, but ask Blair, I have mentioned it so many times to him since then. It just meant so much to me and reminded me of my dad because if my dad could have, he would have made that exact same call. I wasn't just some girl that married his son, I was a daughter of his too! Since then I've realized that Blair's dad does so many things to show his love for us, I just need to look for the small things like those phone calls or giving us advice when we need it. I don't know if Brent feels more pressure to be a good father to me since my dad is no longer here, but he has done a wonderful job! No one can talk my dad's place, but Brent does such a wonderful job at fulfilling that fatherly need and influence in my life. I couldn't have asked to marry into a better family! Both Blair's parents are so good to me and love me like their own!
I will so pleased if Blair is the kind of father to our children as his dad was to him. Brent did such a good job raising his children! I am thrilled that my children will have him for a grandpa!
Happy late Father's Day to all those dads out there!! But I must say, I am spoiled with the bests 3 in the world!! I love all 3 of you co much!
