Father's Day is such a special day for me. First of all I get to honor by father for all the love and hard work he dedicated to me growing up. And most of all I get to honor my husband for being (in my opinion) the greatest daddy in the world. Mark was really scared of me getting pregnant the first time, but he did it because he knew we had to have children eventually. The day before I went into labor he was terrified to say the least. A few days ago he said that he was praying that Hannah would be his father's day present this year, I told him we could pray for that and we have. The smile that comes on his face when he sees Andrew melts my heart every time. "watching" Andrew has never been work for him. I have heard so many father's complain about watching their kids, he would rather hang out with Andrew than anyone else in the world. He is constantly sharing the Lord with Andrew, praying with him, and encouraging him. He disciplines firmly but kindly without anger, which I have learned so much from. He comes home from work, plays with Andrew, gives him a bath, puts him to bed every night for the past 9 months. He has never once complained about it because he loves it. Mark doesn't smile all the time, he looks serious a lot of the time, even though he isn't angry it is just him. When he is around his son all he does is smile and laugh, he loves being a daddy! He prayed so hard and stood by my side contending for another child. He never let me give up trying and believing. A few days before we found out we were pregnant I was trying to talk to him about adoption, he wouldn't even think about it because he knew in his spirit that we would have more children. He believed more than I did. I know the Lord heard his prayers.
On this day I want to honor him. He deserves the very best treatment today because he spoils me as being the daddy of my children. I am constantly encouraged by him and just love being his best friend. I am still praying that I gave have Hannah today, but there are really no signs of labor so I am no banking on it, but the Lord can do it! i pray that your husbands are able to enjoy this day as daddy's. We are grilled out steaks tonight, he gets to pick out his favorite beer, and we are spending quality time together.
I love you Mark and I can't wait until you meet our baby Hannah, she is the most blessed girl in the world having you as her daddy!
