Happy Father's Day Dave!!!!!!!

Happy Father's Day!!!!

I met Dave as a single mother of three children.  Since this didn't scare him off I knew right away he was Special.  But never in a million years did I know exactly how special this MAN was.  Dave does not have any biological children and I thought this was such a shame.  Dave and I married in 2005 and he became the step father to Taylor, Conor and Nicholas.  Dave was and IS such a wonderful FATHER to these guys!!  Not only are they Blessed to know a man like Dave but luck has gone their way by granting him as their FATHER.  

I knew Dave would LOVE to have a baby so we tried invitro fertilization twice.  The first attempt failed and our second attempt was successful.  Sadly the successful implant did not survive.  GOD HAD A PLAN!!!  Dave was meant to be a FATHER to a baby absolutely - just not in the way we had thought. 

Owen was placed with us as a foster child in December 2007.  It was immediately obvious to everyone that Dave was head over heals in LOVE with this beautiful boy!!!  Again, Dave was willing and ready to take on the role of FATHER to a child he did not conceive. 

Then Sara was placed with us in July of 2008 as a foster child.  Sara has her FATHER wrapped right around her little finger - no doubt about it.  Dave yet again stepped up and LOVED his 5th child as if she were his own.  And she definitely is his OWN!!!!! 

Dave met his 6th child in an orphanage in December 2010.  He LOVED Isabelle immediately!!!  Another beautiful baby meant to be the daughter of this AMAZING man!!!!   This FATHER would PROTECT her ALWAYS!!!! 

Dave and Taylor
  Blood is thicker than water but
LOVE IS THICKER THAN BLOOD

Dave and Nick!! 
A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!!!!!

Dave and Conor
Biology is the LEAST of what makes a FATHER


Happy Father's Day Dave!!!!  I sooo hope you know how you have FOREVER BLESSED your children by just being YOU!!!!  I love you more than you will ever know Sweetie and I thank GOD everyday to have the BEST PARENTING PARTNER in the world!!!!!
