A post dedicated to my loving husband and fantastic Daddy to Dana…<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
What makes a Dad?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
God took the strength of a mountain,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The majesty of a tree,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The warmth of a summer’s sun,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The calm of a quiet sea,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The generous soul of Nature,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The comforting arm of night,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The wisdom of the ages,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The power of an eagle’s flight,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The joy of a morning in spring,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The faith of a mustard seed,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The patience of eternity,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The depth of a family’s need,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Then God combined these qualities<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
and there was nothing more to add,<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
He knew his Masterpiece was complete.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
And so, He named it – ‘Dad’.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Our #1 Daddy!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Daddy, thank you for being our greatest advocate and the family’s Chief Fun Officer (CFO). Without you, our lives would be so colourless.  Thank you for being the most spontaneous, loving, tireless and hands-on Daddy to our daughter.  She has caught on your love for music, for chocolate, for reading and for the great outdoors…You inspire in her a quest for adventures and a thirst for knowledge. Through you, she is growing to be a robust, confident, courageous little girl – the type of daughter you’ve always wanted. The wacky things you do together and the bond you share are unparallelled…I know you probably heard me say this many times but I just want to affirm you again on this day that you are doing an awesome job Daddy.  I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this journey of parenting.  I pray as we parent Dana hand in hand, our efforts will bear good fruit – that we will raise a God-fearing young lady after God’s own heart, with a destiny for His glory. <\/span><\/div>\n

Blessed Fathers’ Day to you Daddy!  <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
