It's all about the daddy's

Father's  daddy's are very important men. I strongly believe that every child needs a daddy in their life. Little boys need daddy's to show them how to be a good man, husband, and daddy of their own. Little girls need daddy's to show them how a man should treat them, and set a good example when looking for a husband. It all starts from the beginning of life.
I have three great daddy figures in my life, one loving husband, and a great big brother.

I remember when I was 9 and 10 my daddy would take me out on Saturday nights for our date night. Him and I would grab dinner, head to the toy store, and/or hit discovery zone. My daddy use to call me every night just to tell me he loves me. While in college my daddy would stay on the phone with me until I got inside of my apartment or home from the store. My daddy is my protector, my best friend, my daddy.

Then there is my step dad. No, I am not around him much. However, I can almost guarantee you if we get together we will have a good time and I will learn something about safety.

My father daddy-n-law. That's right, I would be wrong to just call him a father. There were a few incidents that I specifically remember with him. The one I remember the most was the night of our rehearsal. A lot of things began to go bad, people were hurt by the way Keith and I decided to do our wedding and I remember weeping and weeping. Kenny came up to me and said something I will never forget. "I love you and no matter what you and that boy will be getting married, it is your day". See how great he is. He has impacted my life in so many ways. He has raised a great young man. He is a loving dad

My brother-n-law is a great dad. He is a great big brother too. There were many nights that I would sit over at his house and cry and he would just love me, like any big brother would. I can always expect a great hug and arms opened wide when I walk in the door of his home.

My husband is a great man of God. He is full of love, care, and protection. I have enjoyed my time with him for the past 9.5 years. The best part about being married to Keith is watching him be a daddy. Londyn loves to go in in the morning and pat him and say dada. I love to watch the two of them roll around on the floor, walk hand in hand, giggle during a diaper change, and cuddle for nap time. He is one amazing daddy that Londyn will look up to. I hope she finds a man that will love her and treat her like her daddy does. The man of her future has some big shoes to fill!

This Father's day we were able to make a trip to Bedford. It was a short trip but we enjoyed many things.

You see daddy's make a huge impact. Every little boy and girl should have one. I am so thankful that my little girl will have the same great experience as I have with her daddy.

Happy Daddy's Day!
