Father's Day..

Of course we all know that yesterday was father's day, and I was thinking about the importance of my father, I came to some great understandings. I know that there are many people out there that can't say they they have ever known their father or that their father is not in their lives. I think that this circumstance could be for me too, but I don't look at it that way. My "real" father has never really been in my life. He calls sometimes, but usually I have to call him. Yesterday I struggled becuase I did not want to call my "real" father because I did not feel like he was really a father to me at all! The man that I consider my father is a man that has been in my life since I was seven. This man has been there for me no matter what struggles we have encountered and never forsaken me or my family! This man is my stepfather, but in my eyes is my father! A lot of people think I am silly because I still call my stepfather Mr. Jeff, but that is only because I am use to calling him that. He knows that if we could break that habit we would call him Dad. Mr. Jeff has been the most loving a caring father that I could have ever asked for. He is always the one that I can call to get advice when I feel like I cant get my head right! He loves me and my family with no end! The sweetest thing that I have come to love about Mr. Jeff is that he is the best grandfather! I don't have any children but I have one niece and to see his love for her is so sweet! I can't wait for the day that I will be able to have children and let them play with their Grandpoo as well.

So though yesterday I struggled with not wanting to call my "real" dad, I came to quickly realize that I did not have to and that my father (Mr. Jeff) was the first one that I called to share my love and thankfulness with. I love you Mr. Jeff!
