Happy Father's Day

Dear Daddy,

I just wanted to say Happy Father's Day! I know we talk often and I really hold dear our many conversations. No matter what it is about...the weather, the kids, mom, Aj, other family up coming events are even heart to hearts. I love every minute of our conversations. The older I have gotten the more thankful I have become of the leader, you have been in my life. There have been many ups and downs from the start of my life with Popie passing away, to learning to walk, ride bikes and swing. Then to the bike wreak, the challenging time my freshman year, the move to Artesia, starting college at Wayland, getting married, starting a family and being here now! But, as I look back on everyone of those times I see a common factor....you, praying for Gods help, guideness and directions. No matter if I could see the good or not you always trusted that the Lord would bring us out of whatever we were in. I love you very much and thank God for placing me with such a great mother and father. I know I don't need Fathers day to tell you all of this....But, I love you very much and thanks for not only being a WONDERFUL Daddy to me but a great Popua too!
I love you forever.
Katie



Chad,

Thank you for being such a wonderful husband to me but for being a Christ center Father to Kaileigh and Kalebh. When the kids look at you they have that special look in their eye that kids get when they look at their Daddy's. Thank you for instilling in our kids the love of our savior. You know they always say you will marry someone like your dad. And well....I guess I did...You show me the love that I have watched my parents share all my life. I see Kaileigh look at you the way I look at my Dad. Thank you for leading us and putting up with us. I love you very much and thank God daily that he brought you into my life and saw fit to lend this two wild, but sweet blessings to us!

I love you,
Katie
