Dad Interrupted

Hubby,

Because you take the boys to football
and kick a few around in the garden when you can;


2007

Because you ask for days off
for things like

school coffee mornings,

kid productions

and award ceremonies;




Because you have MORE than done your share of midnight pacing,

diaper changes


and catching regurgitated hotdogs in your hands at the theater;


Because you have often used your shirt
when there were no tissues around;


2004

Because you swell with pride when you talk about your boys;

2004
and get soft and mushy
when you talk about your girl...


2006
You are missed.


You are a great Dad and your kids
don't take that for granted...

even when you're gone


and your Dad duties are interrupted
by your devotion to your country.




We love you! Happy Father's Day.

  11. OMG! That made me cry so hard. I've got tears streaming down my face. I hope he gets to come home soon...

  12. I can see why he's so missed right now- he does seem to be a GREAT Dad.

    Oh- and your post also proves my theory. We recently attended the Hill Air Force Base Air Show to see the Thunderbirds etc. Hearing those jets cetainly makes me glad men like your hubs are on OUR side. We got to watch a pilot board an F-something and he was pretty darn hot. I decided right then hotness must be a pre-req for this stuff and here you are proving me right. Hubba Hubba for YOU girl! I hope you get him back ASAP!
