happy DADDYS day!

I just want to say that I could not have married a better father to raise children with me. Jeff seriously fills in so many of the cracks in my mothering. I watch him sometimes just to learn how to relate to the boys better. Obviuosly with me being mom and him being dad, their will be differences in our relationships… but so much comes so naturally for Jeff. He has a way with really getting through to Owen and helping him behave. For this alone I could love him forever. But of course there are 1000 other reasons to love him too

My dad. Happy father’s day dad. I love how our relationship has grown so much over the last decade. So many of my “little isms” Come from you. I see so much of you in Lukas and that makes me smile. You have done so much for my life. You serve us all the time… and you have prepared a future for both us and the kids. Thank you for thinking of the children your children were going to have before they even came to be! We miss you guys- come home okay! Stop leaving so much!

Dad (Jackson). Thank you so much for raising such a great son (Thanks mom jackson too!!!) He is such a wonderful husband, best friend and daddy. You have left him a spiritual inheritance and a marriage/family inheritance that nothing can rival. He is so blessed and it is so wonderful to be part of your blessed family. We love you and miss you much

Brother- watching you be a dad has been wonderful. You love your kids with incredible passion. You can’t wait to show them how to fall in love with the things you love so you can share it forever. You have been bringing up children that you have taught to love other people with all their heart. You have blessed them. They will never have to wonder if they have been loved.

Favorite Brother in Law You are never a dull person to be around! I love the political debates, legal talk, current events… watching fox news and beating you in dutch blitz! You and Jan are such an example with how you handle your household! I’m so glad we both married in to the Jackson family From one of the “mean ones” to another. I’m not mean by the way, just intense. Hope you guys can make it this way soon if it fits into the trial schedule.

And to all the other daddy’s that love their kids and stay in their lives. Thank you. The world absolutely needs you.
