This is my photo tribute to my wonderful husband. He is such an awsome dad to our children. He has overcome so many personal life obstacles and always proven to be a dedicated, hardworking, loving man. I thank God for him in our lives every single day. I cannot immagine where Richard and I would be without him. He took on the roll of a father long before he was blessed with his own biological children. So many men would have walked away from the very beginning. He puts his own feelings aside for what is best for his family and works hard every single day to be a great roll modle to our children.
Father's Day's prior to this one were very different and we know that all of them from here on in will be a new kind of day. Hugh has had a rough past year with so many ups and downs and I pray that they only get better from here. This time next year he will be a daddy again. We are going to be having another baby in December. Until now, we have only told a few people. This was my choice since I just really don't have it in me to deal with the reactions that we will get from people. I know Hugh has wanted to tell people but he has respected my wishes. Today I would like to give him the opportunity to be the proud daddy that he is every single day of his life but to also be able to share his personal joy.
After a much fractured childhood family, he always wanted to give his children the family he yearned for his entire life. So many people do not understand our position on having children and we don't expect them to. We have already had numerous mixed reactions by many people. Some people are thrilled while others have gone as far as to suggest an abortion(something we would never consider unless it was because it was lifethreatening to me and the baby would not survive either way). We ourselves are full of so many mixed emotions and it will always be that way. In no way will this baby replace George or even make this whole situation any better, dispite what some people may think. Yes we know that this baby is likely to have Mito too but as I have stated before that is just a diagnosis.
Our children are so loved and have all needs met. We may not have a whole lot of money, and have our hands full but we love our children and are great parents. In the end that is what matters. There are people with tons of money who are horrible parents and then there are people poorer then we are with more children then we have who are awsome parents. No matter what the case is, this is meant to be, or God would not have blessed us with this child. The boys are excited and cannot wait and keep telling us that we will have a new baby when Santa comes! We look forward to welcoming our new family member and know that our little monkey is going to make an awsome big brother.
This Father's Day is just going to be full of many emotions. I wish all those father's out there a day full of fun and appreciation. That also goes for all the men who take on the roll of a father to someone, you are changing someone's life in ways you cannot immagine! To my wonderful husband and father to my children, I love you more then you can know and I thank God for you every single moment of the day! You are and will be a wonderful father to our children. Know our little monkey has his own place in your heart where is is close to you whenever you feel as if heaven is too far away for him to be. Never forget he was made from a love that cannot be broken and will continue on into eternity so he never is truly gone.
Happy Father's Day!
