Dads....


My husbands father passed away and yesterday was the funeral and the sad thing about it all, is he didn't know his father, he met him once back when we first got married and that was almost 6 years ago. It broke my heart because he had to other children and they were heartbroken over this man that didn't want anything to do with my husband or my brother in law. I want to know why he didn't want to know his other children? My husband and my brother in law have made a life for themselves and I cant say them same for the other two. Their half brother is in prison and the half sister is young but you can tell if she doesn't get help she will be going down the wrong road.
Now I too do not know my birth father and I am OK with this because my dad is a wonderful man, he has been my dad since I was 5 years old and he loved me just the same as my brother and sister. He was hard on me and when I was younger I thought he was just mean and was to over protected and of course he didn't know what he was talking about, but now as an adult I know why he was the way he was. I love my dad so much and I am so blessed that he didn't treat me differ net and the he took me as his own.
My best friends dad is also a wonderful man and we wouldn't know what to do without him in our lives. He took us in as his own and he has shown us and taught us so many things. He has been there for us when we were low and he has such a giving heart. He is understanding and he is someone you can always go to. My best friend is such a lucky girl to have an amazing father.
My sweet little boy is blessed to have my husband as his father. I couldn't have asked for a better father for my son or a better husband. He may have not known his father but he was blessed with two men who are fathers to him. When my husband holds his son you can just see the love that he has for him. I know with out a doubt in my heart that my husband would do anything in his power for our son and our future children. For that I am blessed beyond measure...

Return the favor...

So today was an eye opener for me. I was over loaded with information that just tugged at my heart, for some people that I really never wanted anything to do with but it is time for me to stop being so selfish and to help people out. I have been helped out by family so many time and I wouldn't know what to do with out them so it is time to RETURN THE FAVOR. I am not real sure on the details or how we can do this but I know with God I can do anything.
After everything I learned today has made me even more thankful for my family and I am not just meaning my hubby and son, I mean my best friend and her dad and my parents and everyone that has helped me in a tough spot. I am more then blessed! God has really opened my heart today and I pray that I can do whatever I can to help these people....
