A Hug for Frank for Fathers Day...

Our road of life takes many paths.......many turns not planned by us.  Being a father of 4 at the age of 66 was not a chapter frank thought 22 years ago would be written....and for many who know us and where we are at this moment, has had many challenges along the way because we were not on the same pages in those chapters........(and that someday may be another blog story) .....
but putting those torn pages aside , you frank deserve a "thank you" on Fathers Day from me.. Thank you ....because of you~ i was able to hear the laughter and see the smiles of 4 little girls.....because of you
~ i was able to rock, hold and tuck 4 little babies to bed every night .... because of you~ i was able to see them take their first step  and say their first words....,because of you~ i was able to dry tears and patch boo-boos...,  because of you~ I can listen to them say the prayers i taught them to pray...., because of you~ i will watch 4 girls walk into kindergarten....,because of you~ i will be able to watch them make forever friends through their school classes and activities.... because of you~ i will watch them each discover their strengths , weaknesses, and discover who they will become some day...because of you~ i will watch them get married, ....because of you~ i will hold their babies and watch them become mommies.. ......Thank you .. to me there is no greater joy that has happened to me than being a mommy.  There is not one moment that is frozen in time . There is no better example than to watch little ones grow up.. It is moving , its changing, so appreciate whats good about "right now" .....and i thank you.....
