Good Men

I am surrounded by good men.  I have an amazing father (the best), three great brothers who have all turned out to be great men, and one wonderful husband and dad to my children.  I know how lucky I am to have all of this and even though it is a little late, I want to recognize these men on Father's Day.

My Dad.

  

What do you say about a man like him?  He is the most generous, most compassionate, most gentle guy I know.  He is the kind of guy who once you meet him, you love him.  I always knew growing up that I had been blessed with a very special family, and my Dad is the force behind all that love (along with my lovely Mom).  He is just the kind of guy who really would do ANYTHING for ANYONE.  He is the definition of character.  

I love him very much and am so lucky to have him as my father and now as a grandfather to my children.  Thank you for all that you do for me and my family.

And then there's this guy!

Dave is such an amazing father that it is hard to put into words.  He is a lot like my Dad to me.  Another guy who once you know him, you love him (and I realize how rare a quality this can be.  I'm not even sure that I would fall into this category).  He is an extremely hard worker (sometimes to a default), good friend, but most importantly, good family man.  He lights up when he sees his kids.  I don't know anyone else who takes such joy from being on the floor playing with blocks for hours.  He doesn't mind letting others see him be silly and funny, just as long as he gets a laugh out of the kids.  He can be extremely busy with all the demands on him and his job, but when those two kids want him, he drops everything.  He is so selfless with them.  He truly loves them with all his heart and I know will do anything to be there for them whenever they need him.  We are all so lucky to have you, honey.  We love you!
