Happy Father's Day

    I write this blog in complete honesty and transparency not for accolades, only for others to see that there are people out here doing life every day, the good, bad, ugly, fun, sad and crazy right along side of you.  

    So Father's Day is hard for me. See I have "daddy issues." I joke around and tell people I have 3 dad's, but in all reality I do. I have a biological dad, an adoptive dad, and a bonus dad. I love each one of them dearly, and each relationship is unique in it's own way. My biological dad, I reconnected with about 10 years ago. We see each other when we can. My adoptive dad has been "Dad" since I was a very little girl. We see each other when we can. Both of these dad's check in periodically and would do anything I asked them to do. They love me and I know that. Circumstances were what they were. I'm not faulting them, I'm not judging them or writing about them to shame them. I hope if they read this they know that. It's just how it is, but I would be lying if I said there were not many years of my life that I struggled and wondered why about many things. Now, my bonus dad came into my life when I was 15. He got quite the package deal when he married my mom. To say we gave him hell would be an understatement. My sister and I were a handful. I think we gave him a run for his money just to see if he would stick around. I'm so glad he did!  He's patient, calm, level headed and just an all around good person. He's not perfect by any means! But, I tell people he will have a seat at the right hand of Jesus for raising 2 teenage daughters who were not his and loving us through it. I never called him "dad" because I was 15 and thought I was too old to do so 😐, but he has been my dad. He's told me when I was wrong, celebrated my accomplishments in life and been there without me even having to ask. I'm so grateful for him and his guidance over the last 28 years. 

    

    I hope all the dad's out there, in whatever capacity you are a dad have a wonderful day! I will celebrate all 3 of my dad's on this day and tell them again just how much I love them. I will also make this day special for Garrett. He's also a bonus dad to Dylan & Drake and has loved them as his own as well. He had a good example in his dad. He's the best dad to these kids and exactly what God knew they all needed. 

    Happy Father's Day!

Wishing you sunny skies and green pastures,
