Fathers

Sorry that it's been so long since I posted here. Sometimes I feel like I update on Facebook, and I have another private blog, so after a while cross-posting or coming up with something new gets overwhelming and/or I feel like everyone's pretty much heard everything that's going on in Sarah's life! :D

But this weekend has got me thinking about FATHERS.

What a special father I have.


Some good memories of my dad:

-Watching him work on building the house in Flat Rock when I was young.
-Knowing he could fix pretty much anything.
-Him and I on vacation fishing and canoeing Up North and seeing a bald eagle eating a salmon when I was a teenager.
-Having my dad attend pretty much every single athletic event I ever participated in -- and if you know my dad, you know he was the most "enthusiastic" fan there!
-When Mattie was born, and he first saw her, he said, "She's so.......symmetrical."
-My dad getting to see Jonah be born -- he thought that was pretty cool.


By seeing a good example of what a man should be and how a father should act, I think that's helped me make a good choice as to the kind of man I want my husband and my kid's father to be.

I hope Mattie and Jonah love their dad as much as I love mine.

I know God doesn't give us perfect parents, but he gives us parents that are perfect for us.

Thanks, and Happy Father's Day, dad.
