There is one thing I am certain of. Both Michael and I are so so so insanely blessed to have this man in our lives. Every day I wake up feeling like the luckiest girl in the world that he is by my side. Mikey has quite the infatuation with him as well. He will only do what Daddy does. If Daddy’s eating something, Michael will request to eat it too. If I ask Mikey to get dressed or put his shoes on, he will wait until Daddy is doing the exact same thing and do it alongside him. It’s pretty much the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. A couple of weeks ago while we were in Minnesota, we were all winding down from the weekend on a Sunday night. My mom and I were in the living room having a glass of wine chatting while Brady and Mikey watched Star Wars in the room over. Suddenly we heard Michael say to Brady, “Daddy, can I tell you something? You’re my best friend.” My mother and I both did what women do when they want to melt…we had tears in our eyes with lips out as if we wanted to pick Michael up that very second and squeeze him for being so sweet. But it’s the truth. Daddy trumps all in his world and I love watching how much they both adore each other. I wish every little boy in this world had a daddy just like Brady. To Michael and I he is complete perfection of a human being.
To the man who does such an amazing job of loving Michael and I… as Mikey would say “a billion trillion sixty one hundred thousand two infinity infinity eight five hundred I Love You’s” …and that still wouldn’t be enough. Thank you for being the wonderful man that you are. Happy Father’s Day! We.Love.You. xo
…and to the man who lives so very deeply in my heart. Who reminds me every day of the kind of life I want to live. Who causes a missing greater than anything I have ever known. Who let me come into my own in leading by example. Who was my own best friend. Who represents everything a man should be…
I cannot believe you are not here today. I have so much to tell you….things you should be here to witness for yourself. Most days I can try to accept the fact that your life now is so much better than the life we exist in. But on days like today, I can do nothing but wish you were here.
Happy Father’s Day Papa. Watch over us extra today won’t you?
I love you.
