"The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him."
Proverbs 23:24
I am so thankful that my children have Joe for a daddy! They are so blessed. It makes me so proud to watch him with them. Noah just adores Joe and lights up when he walks through the door each night. One of my favorite things to do is to tell Noah that "Daddy is home" and watch as he gets SUPER excited running to the door to greet him. I know Madeline will come to adore him just as much and have him wrapped around her tiny finger! Happy Father's Day Joe! You are the greatest and we love you!
I hope everyone has had a good day celebrating their Fathers as well as being Fathers themselves! It has been a little sad for me as I remember my dad and miss him this day. In July he will have been gone for three years. I miss having a daddy who was so very proud of me and who showed me great love! I wish he were here to see our sweet children and that they would have the opportunity to know their granddaddy. As Joe reminded me today, our hope is in Christ and I can rest and be comforted that Dad is with Christ. I praise God for that hope which lies only in knowing Christ as Savior.

Oh, Susie...I was relishing the fact that Noah has such a great dad that I didn't recognize your loss today. I'm praying for you now that God will comfort you today.
Suz, you made me cry. I was just thinking about you and your dad when I was typing in my blog. I am sorry that these days come but I know you have good memories. Love you - Haley
Susie- I feel your pain! I've been trying to post my father's day page and blogger is giving me fits. While I was waiting the only blog i checked was yours. It was so God sending me there because I NEEDED to read what Joe said to you and your response to that. It was very comforting- thanks!
love,

Susie - such a sweet post. I'm sorry Fathers Day is bittersweet to you, but thankful for your husband reminding you of the Hope you have in Christ. I remember your dad with such fondness and I know you wish your kids could have know him. I love you and am praying for you!
Dear Susie, you encouraged me today! Thank you for reminding me that out of great loss and sadness can spring deep joy and tremendous hope. I know your dad would be oh so proud of the wonderful mother you are to Noah and Madeline. You made me cry, too. love you.
Sweet Suz...I am so excited your blog is updated! Yeah:)(Can't say the same for my poor, neglected blog). What a precious tribute to Joe and your daddy. It made me tear up---I LOVE the pictures of both of them! I know Joe is so proud of his growing family and you better believe your daddy is celebrating, too---only in heaven. I know you miss him and am so thnakful to our Heavenly Father for giving you Joe...such a strong, calming force in your life! What did we do to deserve these men we have?! I love you....and think of all of you DAILY!
