When we went to our 17 week ultrasound and found out about Arianna's heart defects it was (at that point) the worst day of my life. I was SO happy to find out we were having a baby girl but so scared for what the future would hold. When we got home I completely lost it. I remember laying in bed for hours upon hours, just crying and crying. The whole time I was breaking down, Robert was there holding me, comforting me any way he could. I know he was dealing with alot emotionaly as well, but he did all that he could to make sure I was okay.
Robert has always been a very strong individual. When times would get rough during my pregnancy I would turn to him for support and strength. I knew I could get through anything if I had him by my side. Then once Arianna was born I realized how much I would really need his strength in the months to come. I couldn't of asked for a better father for Arianna. I know if she could talk she would say the same thing. We love you so much Daddy, Happy Father's Day!
I also want to acknowledge my own father, who's name happens to be Robert as well.(Makes family gatherings a little confusing. LOL!)
I personally know what it's like to have a dead beat for a father. I'm just so thankful my mother remarried to Robert and gave our family the foundation it needed. Anyone can be a father, but it takes a real man to be a Dad. Even though my relationship with my dad wasn't great growing up, we have the relationship now that I've always wanted. I finally see all the things he was trying to instill upon me were for my own good and these are the things I want to instill upon Arianna. So thank you Dad, for always being there for me and being such a comfort these past few years. I know if it wasn't for the Christian background that you instilled upon me I wouldn't be able to cope with the challanges of raising a special child like Arianna. I love you. Happy Father's Day!
To all the Father's out there...Happy Father's Day!
