Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day "D". When I was 15, my Mom married "D" (pictured above) and he took on the amazing burden of a family that had just gone through major tragedy and a step daughter who would have none of his new role in our family. He became a surrogate Father to me and was amazingly patient with me as I completely discounted his role in my life for years. He has been so loving, stable, and kind to my Mom and has given her some much needed peace in her adult life. He is a great fun loving person who is always very warm and friendly. I love his kindness and sincerity. Mostly I just love that he has been always willing to stand by and be there for me no matter what. He has been so understanding as I've struggled through the years and I so look up to him and love him. Thank you "D" for being there for me, for being a Dad when I've needed you to be, and for lovingly being a friend when I've needed that instead. You're such an great person and I just want to give you some much deserved and long overdue praise for the loving sacrifice you've made over the past 15 years. I love you and Happy Father's Day!
