To all the amazing Fathers
Yesterday was Father's day, for me it was a sad day, I no longer have my father, my step father or a man who was a father figure
in my life anymore.
in my life anymore.
But I am grateful for all they taught me and that I was lucky enough to not have one but 3 great male role models in my life.
I know some people don't even have one, so that makes it even more meaningful for me, that God blessed me with these men.

My real father was funny, he was a good looking, sharp dressing, cool car driving dad. He drove 3 hours every Sunday to come see me and spend the day with me. He paid for everything I needed, camp, braces, clothes all on top of the child support he normally paid, which for back then was huge, 100.00 a week.
He never missed a Christmas or Easter even if it meant he drove though a snow storm, he was always there, he showed me New York and my love for the city, he took me to fancy restaurants, to Broadway shows, to the ballet, to the museums, he was an amazing father that some how even though he and my mom were divorced, managed to put it behind them and be friends for me.

I then had a step father who was in my life since I was 5, he was patient, he was kind, he helped with homework and school projects, he taught me how to ride a bike, he taught me how to fix anything and taught me that just because I was a girl, it didn't mean anything, I could do anything I set my mind to. He rubbed my legs in the middle of the night when I woke up with extreme pain from growing pains, while my mom worked nights in the dinner.
He was always there for me and he stepped back and let my mom and me have time with my dad every Sunday (something huge, I didn't realize until I was grown, that you let another man into your home to spend time with your wife and step child, yeah right think about that)
But he loved us that much.

I then had an amazing father figure, Sam who I called "Big daddy" he was a family friend as long as I can remember. He was there for every holiday, every birthday, he was part of our family. This big black teddy bear, who looked like he would kill you if you looked at him wrong, but who would get on the floor and play dolls with me just as easily. He taught me how to play pool and had me hustling people by 8,
I am laughing out loud at that memory!
He was always there with a dollar for ice cream or a ride home. He would listen when I needed to talk and give me the most incredible advise. He had no children of his own, so he showered all his love on me and I loved him dearly just like I loved my other 2 dad's.

Yes, I was blessed with these three strong, loving amazing men to guide me through my life and even though they are no longer here, I know they are still looking out for me, they are still watching over me and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about them and how lucky I was to have them.
Each of them taught me so many different things but they all taught me one thing together, to be a strong, independent women, something I had forgotten for a while but have gotten back in the last few years.
So today my friends, I decade this blog to them and to the many men out there just like them, men who stepped up, either by blood, by marriage or by love.
These men are true Dads, these men need to be appreciated and told they are doing an amazing job not just on Father's day but every day of the year.
Happy Father's day to all the amazing men out there, we love you, you are role models to us, you are the one's we look up to, we want to be like or want to marry, you are doing incredible works in your "children" and we thank you.
