?My father has been a shining example of how to live ones life. He gives until he literally has nothing left to give. He has taught me to never judge anyone by what they do or how they look. Everyone has their own cross to bear and we need to do what we can in helping them, is what I heard everyday growing up. He is an amazing man who has left is print on the world.?

Father?s Day is EXTRA special around our house because??.we have 2 dads we get to celebrate! While many may see our split family and feel sad for us, we all feel incredibly grateful to be a part of each other?s lives. And I am not exaggerating one little bit. Sure, it has been (and can be) tough at times?but what non-split family doesn?t have tough times too, ya know? What I can say is that there is more silver-lining to our situation than anything else ?. To name a few:
? While Chris is the biological dad of Cash and Ruby, and Derek is the biological dad of Matix and Marley, all 4 of them really do have two dads. Derek and Chris both love all 4 kids like they are their own. For those of you that know us, you have witnessed this and can attest to this truth!
? We all get 2 times as much support, care, and concern. Legit ? whether Chris is on the road or not, we all know and feel safe having Derek as our extra set of eyes on our family. No, he does not live with us (ha!) but he cares deeply about everyone in our home, and is our family?s second source of protection at all times.
? The kids get to bring 2 dads to school on Parent Career Day, and get 2 dads to help out during school holiday parties ?. It?s pretty amazing with all 3 of us there!
? And the kids? favorite thing: There are 2 dads to hug them, tease them, teach them, and love them ?.
Like these kiddos, I feel incredibly blessed to have both of these two dads in my kiddos? lives. It isn?t luck that got us here though?it?s hard work on all of our parts, especially those two men. It takes both of them (and me, of course) starting every single day by remembering what is most important in their lives?our kids. We all know that as long as we keep that in mind, put the kids first, and our disagreements second, it will all work out ?. Thanks to our hard work (especially the efforts from Chris and Derek), we are all not only an amazing, modern family?but also awesome friends ?.

So what did we get these 2 amazing fathers for Father?s Day? Some pretty good stuff, I gotta admit! Taking a step back, none of this?and I mean none of this?would be possible without my amazingly talented helpers ? Tayla and Kalala (as Cash pronounces their names). Tayla and Kalala knew I wanted something heartfelt from the kiddos, and boy did they ever produce! Within about 5 hours of texting them my plea for help, they came up with these?
Derek got one too?but I don?t have a pic of his ?. So cute though.
Now from Mom. I can?t tell you what I got Derek yet, because he hasn?t opened it (and he is going to help me post this blog ? I?d hate to spoil it!). But for Chris? Only the not-yet-released Nano 4.0?s ?. I?m not sure who what more excited about opening them?Cash or Chris? You tell me!

It’s been 15 years without my dad but he was able to find his joy and happiness through bringing it to me and my mom. My husband and love of my life and I don’t have kids yet but will someday and I know he will be the exact same way.
My dad has always been my superman. He loves me no matter what, he is a man of integrity, he works harder than anybody I know, and he can make me laugh until my stomach hurts.
My father is the best because despite his physical disabilties, he never gives up and continues to stay as active as possible. He always says if you don’t use it you lose it and he inspires me to stay as active and fit as possible.
My dad is the most amazing dad and grandfather. My dad has always been the man with all the answers. If ever I have a crisis in my life he listens and seems to always have the right answers for me. When I divorced 14 years ago and moved closer to my parents due to needing support. He stepped in as a role model to my children. Every year my daughter (16 now) gives my father her grandfather a Father’s Day gift. She is really the only father she knows. I couldn’t ask for a better man in the my life or the life of my children.
I also have 2 dads and consider myself twice as lucky! And I need TWO sentences to say that I admire what you are doing with your family, and it will serve your child well their whole lives. xoxo
he’s love for me and my sister, but also the love between my parents amazing role models. He is the quiete type but we know he’s always there.
it’s a feeling
My husband, father to our beautiful daughter is a outstanding father. He got out if the navy about 2 yeArs ago so he wouldn’t miss another birthday, holiday or any other special day we are given. He puts his family first and often goes without. A new pair of shoes would be awesome! He just threw away a pair of boots. This would be a wonderful gift!! Thank you!!
My Dad taught me that i could achieve anything in life that I set my mind to!
My biological dad was killed the day I was conceived. But he left an angel disguised as my step father Joe to take care of me and my mom. Happy Father’s Day!! You mean the world to me!
I would love to get these for my husband. He is awesome! He works 6 days a week for 10-12 hours a day to provide for our family. He is also very supportive of me while I am on my journey of going back to school. He provides financially and he backs me up when I need help with the kids.
