Happy Father's Day

To Jym: loving husband, gentle father.

You will teach our son all of the important things in life.

You will show him what it is to be a man, to take care of your family, to make the sacrifices that are necessary to create a better life for us. He will see what it is to love a woman, to treat her with respect when all the world around us is showing him that its okay to put a woman down and treat her like a slut and nothing more than an object.

You will teach him baseball and math and hopefully how to hit the toilet when he pees. So many things that I can't even put into words. So many things that add up to being a dad. Everyday you will be here and he will see that.

Thank you Jym for making this surprise addition to our family a joy, for showing me that you are the father that I always thought you would be.
