Had no idea what I was gonna post today, until I saw this video.
Today is my husband's 41st birthday - and while this is not the typical "Happy Birthday" tribute... it makes me think of him. He is one of the great daddies in the world. I am qualified to say this because I am surrounded by three of the greatest dads, my father, my husband and my father-in-law.
It takes someone special to be a daddy - it is not biology or proximity. The qualities that stand out are less tangible than that - they are being patient, when no one else can be, loving under the craziest of circumstances, being tired and still going outside to play, being silly, being quiet and calm, being selfless, and doling out discipline, even when it hurts you the most. In the four years that he has been a daddy, I have seen all of these qualities up close and personal as they have come pouring out of the birthday boy! These are the things that make the difference...
My husband has been changed for the better( not that he had a lot of changing that needed doing) by fatherhood. My daughter is a lucky girl!!
This video is a tribute to one daddy in particular, but the sentiment and truth stand for all daddies of the world. Enjoy!
He is OUR father.
Not the sketch in the paper or a part of a skit on tv.
Many people will think that they know him.
But they will have no idea how he felt the day you were born.
The pride he felt on your first day of school.
Or how much you both love being his daughters.
Remember who your dad really is
Living Happily In the Moment!
