No Ordinary Father, No Ordinary Man

Sophia and I are blessed. We hit the husband, dad and friend lotto jackpot! Our team captain is no ordinary father or man. It has been one of the greatest joys of my life to watch Mark become a father.

Mark transitioned into fatherhood with all the pride, joy and sense of responsibility that a father could possibly possess. He takes his role very seriously and does much for us.

He helps us to see the world with new eyes. He has focus, determination and vision for us as a family.
He is our spiritual leader.
He carries us through life's ups and downs.
He takes care of us.
At the end of the day, he helps us wash away the world and focus on family.
He snuggles with us.
He loves on us.


He protects us and watches over us.
He brags about us to all who will listen.

He teaches us about the important things in life.
He is a maker of giggles.

He is the master of silliness.

He shows us how to love our family and friends.

He is our inspiration.
Happy Father's Day, Mark. We love you more every day.

What nice things to say. Although he's pretty blessed to have two special girls to share life with.

Rebecca,
You are such a wonderful "poster". Your thoughts are always so beautifully expressed and I have a feeling Mark will say the same great things about you. You make me want to live in Atlanta :)
Blessings,
Pam
