Fathers are precious people..They try to act manly and unaffected by anything we might do.. Some stay this way and some get with our(woman)program..

One father I am talking about came with three grown children… They are his pride and joy. I was introduced to each one and I am sure they had there mixed feeling… I was so much younger than there father and mother. But they let me in and made me welcome because I was marrying there father and they loved him dearly.. That does not mean that it didn’t take us a while to love each other.. Like was first then it was love.. And they allowed two other children to come into his life(my grown children) who needed a father figure in there lives…Back to this husband and father, we were married very fast.  We grew to know each other over time. We loved each other from the start..I need someone in my life who was kind and respectful of my feeling..Someone  to walk with me not over me. To guide me to his way of thinking but not over power me with his views.. He is not a big talker and I was.. This was hard to understand.. I kept trying to fill the conversation as we sat next to each other and it was very frustrating.. Over time I learned I did not have to talk to make him happy.. Just yesterday we were talking about a phone conversation and he told me .. You know you don’t have to fill all my moments with sound.. I just have to know you are beside me. Now this told me so much about this man.. I have known this for a very long time.. Hearing him say it was just the icing on top of the cake.. We are together for life.. He has made me the better person I hope I am today.. And I hope I have been there the way I should be though all his sickness and his silences in the chair next to me…We don’t travel like we had said we would when we retired because of his health and my mother lives with us… I hope our children understand and keep coming to see us and don’t let children’s busy lives keep them away. God thank you for bringing this wonderful Man,Husband and Father into our lives.

He asked that I not put his face in anymore...so here is Butterfly
