Fathers Day

today, i came to ponder on the fathers that i am grateful for.

i am grateful for my very own father, the man who raised me, provided for me, comforted me, taught me, disciplined me but most of all loved and still loves me to this very day.

i have learnt so much from my own dad.

my dad has the heart of gold and he loves his children and especially grandchildren unconditionally. 

he is quite and reserved but a man of wisdom and comfort.

i am glad i chose to come down to him on this mortal earth.

secondly, i am grateful for my babies daddy.

he is the love of my life and i would have chosen no-one else to be the father of my children.

he is honourable, he is kind and gentle, he is humble, he is a laugh a minute.

makai calls him his superhero and thats just what he is.

he is always ready to come to their rescue.

he is loyal and protective.

i always find my safe harbour from my storms in him.

thirdly, i am grateful for my father-in-law.

although i only knew him for 5 years, he lives on in his son everyday.

i am grateful for the way he raised him, for the example that he set.

he was caring and loving.

he never let anyone feel unwelcome.

i know my children would have loved their papa.

and last i am grateful for my father in heaven.

although i cannot remember him, i know that through these 3 fathers in my life that i admire and respect  i get a glimpse into what he would be like.

i know that when my sons grow up to be fathers of their own through the example that these fathers have set they will be the most amazing ones.

"a fathers calling is eternal and its importance transcends through time. it is both a calling for time and eternity"

Happy Fathers Day.
