In light of the upcoming holiday, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge fathers. When it comes to home decor, men often take a backseat to the women in their lives. When it comes to family, men have a very important and difficult role to fulfill.
I am fortunate to have many wonderful men in my life who have taken on the role of a father and done it well. First and foremost is my own father. I know from speaking to other women, and personal experience, how important being loved and accepted by the first man in your life is to your self-esteem. I am blessed to have a father who makes me feel special, loved, and accepted everyday of my life. My husband, the second important man to enter my life, has been a devoted father to our two (now adult) children. From sporting events, camping trips and family vacations to everyday dinners at the kitchen table, he has made his children a priority in his life.
My husband brought two more wonderful men into my life, my father-in-law and my son. I appreciate the love and support my father-in-law has always shown me. He welcomed me into his family and into his heart and I will always be grateful. It remains to be seen what kind of father my son will be. I am confident that with the positive examples he has grown up with, he will continue his legacy of love and devotion.
So, thank you to my father, my husband and my father-in-law for enriching my life. I know I am blessed to have you all. Happy Father's Day to you and to good fathers every where!
