Scott and Emma love their daddy very much. He has always been a stable, loving father to them, and I admire his parenting skills greatly. I decided to pay a little photo tribute to him and include a little message I wrote about fathers a while back ago. I wrote this with him in mind:
What is a Dad?
A dad is someone who leads by example. He provides for his home and family, he cherishes his wife and children, he spends quality time with his family each day. He not only teaches good values and morals to his children, but he also demonstrates them through the choices he makes. His children want to be just like him.
A dad knows how to make his children laugh. He knows how to find humor in everyday situations and make hard times seem better. He can lift spirits up, kiss boo-boos goodbye, and listen to a broken heart.
A dad speaks good encouraging words to his wife. He treats the mother of his home with tenderness, love, and respect. She is the most important person in his life and the children feel it and know it. He offers them a feeling of security and stability when he says kind things to his wife.
A dad knows how to push aside the everyday hustles and bustles of life to spend time with his family. He establishes a routine. He spends one-on-one time with each member of his family. He reads books to his children, sings to them at night, and prays with them daily.
A dad is in no way perfect, but he tries his best. He falls short sometimes, but then he gets up and perseveres again. A dad always wants to be a better dad. He tries to find ways to improve himself, and does.
I am very grateful that I married such a wonderful father. I love him very much.
