Father’s Day,                                                   (June 16th, 2013)


Oscar, Vivian, Abram, and our soon to be born daughter. 

The days that each of you were born are forever etched in my memory as the greatest days of my life.  The greatest moments, defining moments of what my life means.  I know that my love as a father is far from perfect.  But I want you each to know that above all, above all, all that matters to me is being a great dad, and a great husband.

It is my honor to be your father, I could have never asked for more. 

Of course none of this would be possible without your beautiful mother.  Nobody has sacrificed more and given more to all of us than her.  Celebrating Father’s Day also means celebrating your mother.  Dallas I want to thank you for making miracles possible, for filling my heart, and for helping know the most beautiful of joys.

Oscar – you are beautifully brilliant, both courageous and cautious.  All boy, and at times our little boy, you are transforming before our very eyes.  You amaze me in your hunger to know, see, do, and of course to have.  I love you.

Vivian – you are grace and beauty defined, a true lover, the kind of which that can’t help but make everything better.  You are as easy going as you are complex, emotionally charged, I am humbled by you.  I love you.  You will never know how much your window goodbyes mean. 

Abram – you are the go getter, nothing sets you back.  I hope to do nothing to take that from you.  You charge at and squeeze life with both hands, except of course when those two hands are squeezing mom.  You remind me that the more we let go, the more we are able to experience the real beauty of life.  I love you.

Our daughter yet to be born – Our next miracle awaits, the end of September will be here before we know it.  I could never ransom the words to describe how I cannot wait to hold you, to love you, and to show you that anything you dream of is possible.

Thank you for the honor of being your father, on Father’s Day and every day, it is the only gift I could ever want.

All of my love,
Dad
