Today I spent a number of hours watching my husband. Watching him smile as E gave him his gifts. Watching him look softly at E as E told him about the game he was playing. Watching him roll his eyes as he watched our son do something weird. Watching him snuggle our son during movie time. Simply watching Chris be a dad. And it was beautiful. He is beautiful. Those little moments. Those snapshot memories. Happy Father’s Day to an incredible father who creates so many magical memories for his family. You are so loved.

We cannot ever forget their fatherhood something so lacking in celebration in our culture these days. The love & kindness, the memories are what are important. The gifts fade but the present moments are a lifetime of support and what we all wish for our children- and without a doubt our boys emotional health. I’m not in any way saying girls don’t need their dads – oh my god they need both parents. But with the rate of divorce at 50% and marriage seen as a disposable asset not to be worked on when the going is rough, too many of our children rarely see dad. I’m from one of those homes. I’d never wish it to have been that way. What a beautiful post! It brought me so much warmth and such a sacred space for you to share thank you.

Thank you. Not a day goes by that I don’t count my blessings and find peace knowing at the end of it all they have each other. As you stated our society needs the strength, kindness and love found in fatherhood. I know our family wouldn’t be the same without it. ♥️
