As my cute husband fell asleep, I found myself incredibly awake staring at the ceiling last night. I walked into the other room and began writing Father's Day cards I had been putting off amidst the craziness of life.The following hour was a sacred one. As I wrote, I felt overwhelming gratitude. I began with my father-in-law of 3 weeks, surprised by how much I already adore him. I then wrote my mission president who is still serving in Jacksonville Florida and teared up realizing that his wisdom from the mission is continuing to bless me in my marriage. Then, I wrote my husband to thank him for being the one I couldn't imagine passing up because he's exactly who I want my future kids to have as a dad. Next up was my darling grandfather. It was a powerful reminder of the strong foundation he set for my family. I saved my dad for last. I was almost frustrated at how simple and little thank you felt as I wrote him. It's funny that the man who always reminded me to say thank you is the one I most want to say thank you to.
All in all, I love my dad. I love all the father figures in my life. I am so grateful Heavenly Father's plan involved earthly fathers. Happy Father's Day!
