Happy Father's Day

I wish I could find the right words, the exact words to describe the kind of father Nate is. To describe how tender his heart is to the little beings we were blessed with. I wish I could describe what it is like to be witness of this love - his love for these two little souls.

Trying to start this post has me in somewhat of a huge mess (it happens every single year), because speaking of Nate as a daddy is a language of it's own. It is beautifully breathtaking and so wonderful. It's like everything within him, every single cell in his body has been blessed with the daddy gene - he knows everything instinctively - how to hold or cradle a baby, how to cure and adjust an attitude, how to sooth fevers and mend broken hearts, how to reason patiently.

Before I completely fell in love with him, before we held hands and shared happy tears in the hospital when our beautiful babies entered this world, I watched him with Dylan (the baby boy I was a nanny for in Utah.) And I saw something then. I knew he was made to be a daddy.

And the two luckiest souls who calls him daddy, knows it - or at least I hope they know it.

The moment I found out that Ian was on his way, I discovered a new kind of magic - I new kind of deeper love shared with the soul I chose to spend my life with, the kind of love that makes your heart expand with so much joy you think it is going to burst. The kind of love you feel when you watch him for several hours flipping through the crib instructions to put together a crib. The kinds of love that rips your heart apart when life throws you a curve ball, and you don't question for a minute how he is going to respond, because you know. Deep down in your heart no matter what, he is here for the long run. His beautiful daddy heart that stretches deeper and stronger.

Happy Father's Day my love, I love you for the amazing father you are, and for they amazing father I know you are going to be in coming years.

I love you for how much you love and value family - our family!

Thank you for navigating parenthood with me, I love it more and more just because you are in it with me.

I love it because I get to spend it with you. Your were born to be a daddy, and you are amazingly good at it. I will always be astonished at how much you love, and I can't wait for the day our kids tell you how much you mean to them. How much this beautiful life of love will be a legacy to them.

Happy Father's day Nate, I love you something fierce.
