My labor coach, my life coach, my constant encourager.
During pregnancy, you told me how beautiful I was and how proud you were; you cheered me on as I tried to stay fit despite a quickly growing basketball belly. You pressed into my back during labor contractions and you told me I was strong and capable when I didn’t think I could keep pushing. You stroked my hair when I cried through every nursing session those first few days, sitting up with me during 3:00 am feedings so that even in my new-mom loneliness, I wouldn’t be alone. You go out of your way to find little ways to affirm and encourage me in motherhood and to remind me that we’re doing the very best we can.
Selah’s steadfast and trustworthy source of fatherly love.
Something I’ve always appreciated about you is your steadfastness. Not easily shaken or doubtful, you balance my emotional, anxious tendencies and provide a refuge for me when I can’t keep hoping. Your arms are my haven and your words are my balm, and I couldn’t imagine any man who would be a better example for our daughter of God’s ever-steady, unchanging love. Nothing about a baby’s first year is breezy, but your unwavering support has steadied our family in the stormy moments.
Selah’s example of masculinity and tenderness.
Every little girl needs an example of God’s love, a love that is all at once maternal and paternal, fierce and tender, protecting and persevering. You and I know that we can wholeheartedly place our trust in a loving God, but Selah is just learning this; she’s building her conceptions about the nature of God’s love through the ways we love her. Your father-love for her is both strong and soft, willing and able to protect her, yet gentle enough that she’ll always sense your compassion and warmth. (Just don’t make me be the bad cop all the time, okay?)
My partner in providing and in parenting.
You’re a true partner in parenting and in decision making, which is a gift I don’t take lightly. I know I tend to want to control everything, but each time I ask for your opinion, I’m met with a wealth of wisdom and a desire to do what’s best for our family — not just what’s best for you or for me or for Selah, but for all of us. Both of us working full time while splitting the childcare responsibilities is complicated to say the least, but I love that she gets so much quality time with her daddy each week and is participating in a family dynamic that while not "traditional," is empowering. I hope that as a result, her growing concepts of family, fatherhood, and motherhood will be wide and inclusive.
All my love,
Brittany

We hope this will help you to make your son's day way better.
I would like to dedicate this Father’s Day message to all the new Dad’s and Grandpa’s. As you celebrate your very first Father’s Day as a dad and as a grandpa, may you be filled with the happiness and love that this day brings. As a dad the road ahead is an adventure and a brand new experience in life as the responsibility of being a dad is realized and truly inspired with love as you hold your child in your arms.
It’s a whole different experience as a new Grandpa. You have the green light (with a certain amount of opposition from your kids) to spoil and love your grandchild more than you can imagine. The first time you hear "Papa", it’s over. With your heart in one hand, and your wallet in the other, you are toast. A human puppy dog that can drive. Anytime, anywhere, you will always be there for your grandchild. That’s the best feeling in the world. You can get away treating your grandchild to unacceptable sweet treats as mommy and grandma give you heat. That’s okay because you’re the Boss (in your own mind). It’s COOL because you’re PAPA!
Wishing you a great day! Have fun and give your ohana a big loving hug from your Heart and Soul.
Happy Father's Day to All!
