Father's Day

Okay, the last post was a little before Father's Day and this one is a little late.  We were at the lake over Father's Day and had a wonderful time!  It was really relaxing and lots of family time.  We went in the boat one day while my mom and grandma watched Lana and spent the rest of the time watching golf or on the porch.  It was such a wonderful needed break.

On Father's Day, I wish I could say with words what a great daddy Jayson is.  His heart is so big for his little baby girl.  I love watching Jayson and Lana play.  I will see him secretly trying to hide his smile when Lana is doing something she clearly shouldn't be doing, but I see his smile.  I see the goofy side of Jayson playing with Lana when she is trying to "get daddy".  I see the happiness and joy she brings to him and to everyone around her.  I know first hand that the love between a father and daughter is magic.  It is something so special, it is almost a language of its own.

I remember watching Jayson with the first baby he ever held.  He was a natural and in that moment, I knew he would be a great daddy.  Although, I don't think I could have imagined how great he would be.

From the moment he brought Lana to me with her snuggled perfectly in his arms to kiss her face, to when they had to leave me while I recovered from the c-section. I knew she would be okay.  I knew she would feel love.  I did get to see videos of this.  It is something that will just melt you heart.  Trust me.  It is amazing seeing him rub her little arms and that huge grin on his face.  He just knew exactly what he should do and seeing Jayson as a daddy, makes me fall even more in love with him.

Thank you for giving me a beautiful, amazing little girl.  I knew that being a mommy is exactly what I was meant to be since I was a little girl and because of you it so much more than I could have ever dreamed of.  I know you will be my partner and I won't worry about the woman she will grow-up to be. I know you will show her love, give her confidence to succeed in whatever she wants, and let her be stubborn to not give into the worldly demands.  I know she will be just fine.  I know that she will always be your little girl.

I look forward to the day that Lana can say just how much she love's you and she will understand when you say how much you love her.

Happy Father's Day!  I love you for the amazing father that you are and know you will be for the years ahead.
