I am beyond blessed to have grown up in a household with the most amazing Dad in the World. For 18 years, I lived with and observed a man who loved and cared for his family with amazing patience (especially in a house of ALL women), positivity and pride. He taught me so much about what a family should look like, how they should interact, treat and love each other. He taught me resiliency and determination in my younger years; how to ride a bike, tie a shoe, drive a car. In my college years, how to balance a check book, save money and work hard. And in my adulthood now, he is still the man I turn to for a second opinion and the only one who I allow to remove my splinters. :) Thank you for shaping the person I am today and for all the lessons you have taught me along the way. I know I probably don't say it as often as I should, but I LOVE YOU!
And to my second Dad, aka "Father Bob", I hit the jack pot when I met your son AND gained you as a Dad! You have always treated me like your daughter, and love and supported whatever crazy idea we may have had in our (almost) 8 years of marriage (like maybe owning 2 homes for a short period of time:). We can always come to you for "real" advice and know that you will always be there for us. Thank you for the role you played in shaping your son into a wonderful husband and father. I am eternally grateful to you! And thank you for playing such an important part in our children's lives. They love you bunches!
