Today is Father's Day. I hope that my dad has a great day. Today I have been reflecting on my dad. We don't always see eye to eye. We sometimes argue. But no matter what, he is always there for me. We have been through so much and he has taught me so much. When Tevita first became a part of our family he told me, "Jodi, you and your dad have a specialness between you. Don't ever loose that." I think that "specialness" is there because me and dad are so much alike. In my mind, I am dad's favorite. Ha Ha. Justin and Jaquel, don't be mad...I know it's not true, but in my mind it is!:) I know that we are all his favorites but there is just something about being the middle child that makes me special! My dad is such a strong man. I think of him everyday. Mom used to always tell me that she worried about dad being alone. He always had Grandma and Mom taking care of him. Now Grandma and Mom are gone and dad is taking care of all of us! I am so proud of him. I know that life is hard for him. I know that he misses mom so much but he still hangs in there. I know that he struggles on a daily basis worrying about all of us. But Dad, we are all ok. You are always there for all of us. You are there to give us all advice. You are there to be with the kids. You spoil all our kids and then send them home to us. I just want you to know that we really love you and appreciate all you do for us. Keep being strong and have a great day!
Thank you to Tevita also. He is such a great dad to our kids. He works so hard so that we can all have what we need. He is always teaching us something. He is such a strong person, both physically and spiritually. I am so thankful for him. I don't know where I would be without him. He is my best friend. He is such a great dad and the kids look up to him so much. Thank you for all you do Tevita. We wouldn't be where we are today without you. Happy Father's Day and we love you!!
And to all the rest of the men in our lives...Happy Father's Day! We love you all and hop you have a great day!
P.S. Gotta love the pictures! I really need to get some more updated on my computer but for now these will have to do!
