Today, we are wishing a very Happy Birthday to our incredible friend, my ex-husband, and the father of my first two children – Derek.
Our family wouldn?t be the same without you, and I hope you know how grateful we are to have you in our lives. Truly, life wouldn?t be near as much fun for Cashy and Ruby without their ?Uncle Dekle?.
Thanks for helping to keep our family grounded, even amongst all of the crazy curveballs that we throw at you most of the time ?. And thanks for being a great friend to me and Chris.
You?ve been quite the example to me (and to many others) during these years post-divorce. It?s been eye-opening to see how much you care about not only the kids’ happiness, but about mine and Chris? too. People reading this would be amazed to know that when times get tough for me and Chris, YOU are usually the one that reminds me of what is most important, and encourages me to (drop my ego and) ?fix it?. I don?t know one other ex-husband like that ?. I really don?t.
If there were more parents out there that could follow your lead, this world would be a better place. Thank you for loving our kids and loving our family, and supporting us in all that we do, even when it?s not easy. We appreciate you more than you might know.
We love you, Derek!!
Love,
All of us

My husband and I have been married for three years and we have three kids. I was pregnant and devastated with our fourth child when I found out about his secret affair, I discovered he was always hiding his phone from me, staying out night outside, as a pregnant woman, i need his attention and care, he made me feel less of a woman when i needed him the most, my condition got worst every day by day, i could not help it but find who will take me out of my miserable condition, i contact dr_mack@yahoo. com to save my marriage, after 3 days my marriage was saved from disaster
I think that is great! I have the same thoughts as Jessica. If he is so amazing and wonderful part of your life why did you get divorced?
This is so awesome that you could have a ex who is truly that great. it’s inspiring to know that there are men out there that are like that. Also Happy Birthday Derek, your a inspiration.
