It's his day

Happy Father's Day to one amazing husband & father.

Happy Father's Day to the man, who, during deliver was wearing sandals. Until he asked the nurse: "This is going to get messy, isn't it? Maybe I should put on some real shoes." To the man who came thisclose to crying when he held his baby girl for the first time. To the man who was floating higher than I was, without the help of any drugs.

Happy Father's Day to the man who shed a tiny little tear when he found out he was having a son. To a the who held me as I cried when I found out I wasn't having another little girl. To a the who told me it was OK to be upset. Happy Father's Day to the man who knew it was best to wait a few minutes before bringing me our handsome son after he was born, because he knew I was so exhausted & that if he waited a few minutes, I'd be able to appreciate my son. To the man who called everyone at 5am in the morning to let them know we had a perfect little boy.

Happy Father's Day to the man who loves nothing more than to scoop his babies up & cover them with kisses. To the man who takes every opportunity to let his babies know just how much he loves them. To the man who rushes home at night so he can spend just a few more minutes wrestling on the ground & playing airplane. Happy Father's Day to the man who will let his kids get away with proverbial murder, as long as they don't sass him.

Happy Father's Day to the man who is trying to teach his children about the important things in life. Picking your nose with both hands, laughing about farts, making sure to let everyone know when your brother poo-poooooos, respecting your mom & listening to what she says. That riding your trike with your puppy running behind you is a great source of laughter. That when you fall down, you jump right back up & let everyone know "I tough."

Happy Father's Day to the man who would walk to the end of the earth & back if that's what he thought it would take to impress his two little loves. To the man who will let his children know how much they mean to him until he takes his last breath. Happy Father's Day to the man who helped me bring these two little firecrackers into our world & has been a changed man ever since.

Happy Father's Day, Chase. I would say that I love you more than you could ever know, except that isn't true, because I know you love me back with the same intensity & fierceness. Thank you for being the father & husband that you are, for working so hard to support us & make sure we don't hurt for anything.

But most of all, thank you for letting me off the hook for preparing a big meal today, instead telling me that all you wanted was a pizza from your favorite place in town.
