A Tribute to My Husband… A Father

Sometimes occasions and situations become magnified or overwhelming when dealing with infertility.  Dealing with it for 2 years now after first losing a baby to an ectopic pregnancy, this year has been one of the hardest for me with holidays acknowledging moms and dads. 

Mother’s Day was not fun for me.  In fact, I didn’t even go to church because I didn’t want to be reminded of what I don’t have here on earth.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my mom to death and celebrate her life and the role model she is, and many other “moms” in my life – but that didn’t make my situation or emotions any easier.

So with Father’s Day approaching – I want to acknowledge just how wonderful my husband is.  He may not be a daddy here on earth yet, but I know he will be one of the BEST when we have the opportunity!  And he is a dad – he just never got to meet or hold the precious babe – and we look forward to the day we will meet him/her in Heaven someday.

David – you are one of the most caring, kind-hearted, fun-loving, hardworking men I have ever met in my life.  It’s hard to be mad at you for more than a couple of minutes because you just make me laugh. :)  You bring so much joy to my life!  And even in the hardest of circumstances, your support and strength make me feel so comforted.  Thanks for being so strong even when you feel weak yourself.  Thanks for always encouraging me when I feel helpless and hopeless.  Thanks for loving me.

I look forward to what God has in store for us as a couple – and as a family in the future.  Although it’s hard to comprehend what that may look like now, I enjoy every minute I get to spend with you. 

Happy hope-to-someday-soon-be-a Father’s Day to one awesome husband!!!

And thanks to my dad and father-in-law for the strong role models you have been in our lives!  We love you and thank you for your integrity, support, and love shown to us over the years.  Happy Father’s Day!
