Let me tell you why my father-in-law is special to me:
When I started dating my sweet, lovable husband, I was a little overwhelmed by the largeness of Peter's family. He has 6 siblings and their house was constantly moving with people and things happening. I was used to my quiet family of one other sibling. However, I had always wanted a large family from the time I was tiny, so their family intrigued me.
Despite my interest in a large family, I still felt a bit lost after we got married.
However, from the moment Peter and I got married, my father-in-law made sure at every get together that I got a great big hug and he made sure I knew that he was glad I was part of the family.
Peter and I have been married for 18 years now and I can say that although my father-in-law is a man a few words, I have never doubted his love for me.
So, dad, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for making me feel at home. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms. Thank you for making me feel loved!
Something pretty awesome happened for my father-in-law this year, he turned 80 years old. Not everyone has that claim to fame. I certainly don't! Here are some pictures from the celebration we had around dad's birthday:
Have a blessed day and embrace the craziness in your life!
