* To my husband: Unfortunately words come up short when I try to say thank you enough for always being there as a supportive, and loving husband and father. We've been together through the ups, the downs, the highs, the lows, the good times and the not so good. Your sense of humor keeps me in stitches and at times has been just what the doctor ordered. You are undoubtedly the best cook ever and can whip up just about anything on a dime. Thank you for always being there for our sweet girl, guiding her morally and spiritually and giving her wings. Your example has helped her to become an independent young woman, growing in her faith in God. I love you.

*To my daddy: Thank you for raising me to have faith in God. To believe and never give up, to always persevere. I am grateful to both you and mama for teaching me that hard work really does pay off, but that God and family come first. You truly are a part of the greatest generation. Thank you for always saying goodnight and tucking me in when I was little and for showing me that it's the simple things in life that matter. Even though we didn't have a lot, I always felt secure and knew I was loved. Katie, Callie and Evan are blessed to call you Pa Pa. I love you, daddy.
*To my father-in-law, Papa Joe: My memories of you go way back when you delivered milk to our house when I was a little girl. Who would have thought that I would have grown up to marry your son years later? Reaching inside the ice cream freezer of the milk truck and grabbing an ice cream was always a treat...I won't ever forget that. Your example of courage and perseverance over the years has been a blessing to me. Thank you for sharing those same qualities with Katie and teaching her by your example. She is blessed to have you as a grandfather. I love you.
Happy Father's Day!

Ok, the note to your Daddy got me. I have read and cried through most of the Father's Day posts this afternoon. Waaaaaaaaaa.
Your Daddy reminds me of mine.

This was so sweet Ginger. You are truly blessed to have such wonderful men in your life. God is so good to us! I LOVED that picture of Tony and Katie!! That one brought tears to my eyes. I just can't believe how fast time flies!
What a beautiful post, Ginger! You are truly blessed to have these three amazing men in your life!
What a precious post.
I feel just as you do. I have a wonderful, loving husband and father too. I never want to take them for granted.
My father-in-law was such a great man. He passed away in 2001. I thought of him a lot yesterday and thought of my husband.
Thanks again for sharing and thanks for all the comments about youth camp. I appreciate the prayers. It was an awesome week!
Enjoy your week.
Love,
Valerie
Wondeful tribute to the men in your life:)) I love seeing the early and then later pics.
What a sweet post! I loved the picture of Tony and Katie when she was a baby. Precious!
This was a great post and I loved the two pictures of Tony and Katie. I'm not sure I could put my hands on pictures of my kids when they were that young, so that really impresses me. :)
