Involved in your life whether it be a step-father or bound by blood, across the room or across the world.
There for you in your time of need come rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
Always giving you their best even when they are at their worst.
Tutoring you on "what guys really want" and knowing all along that you will someday cause him to cry when you get married.
Giving you what you need, and not what you want, to show you the difference later in life.
Sharing advice and memories that one day you will use and look back on.
Giving you away on that special day or being there as you turn into a grown man right before his eyes and hoping for the best that you turned out just fine.
Listening to you each time you say "i hope i don't become my parents" and knowing that you will and wont even notice it till one day.....BAM.
Knowing just what it takes to cheer you up, make you smile, and sometimes, at the right moment....embarrass you.
This is a father to me....it is more then just a title, it is something you learn and earn.

oh gosh girl, I hope with all my heart he fills those shoes, I really do. I hope he is a good Dad for you and a good husband for your Mom. I have Matt in my prayers day and night.
this was written with such great meter and wonderful prose
but because it came straight from the heart i heard how it truly
is for you and what you need the most.
the little girl in you wants so desperately to call him your Dad and have someone to look up to and I hope desperately he is there for you and Sam both.
how are you?
I am good.
xoxoxo to you
Tamara
