As soon as Richard gets home and changed. we are off to Athena's for grilled steaks and great company. We're celebrating Father's Day this evening because Richard works a long shift tomorrow at Disney helping make things great for other dads and their families as they enjoy their time together at the parks.
While I tend to be more intense and full of passion about all things in life, Richard is more low key and laid back. I had nine children when he married me and he had no fathering experience. Incredible, yet he did a fine job as a father. He says he learned to be a dad from his own stepdad Charlie, who was also a sanguine sort of guy.
Recently, our son-in-law Ethan sent Richard an email and dedicated Brad Paisley's video to him, saying how much Crystal loves him. The song is about a stepdad and is called "He Didn't Have to Be." I had dedicated that song to Richard last year and this year sent it to my new son-in-law Steve who impresses me as he parents three of our grandchildren.
Great dads are hard to find. Great stepdads are even more rare. I am so thankful I married one.

My stepdad is an absolute gift from God. My dad was wonderful in many ways. He took me to church, taught me to love God, and helped me memorize the Bible. He didn't understand emotional nurturing, though, and honestly, when he passed on four years ago, there were some huge holes in my heart.
The Lord has so blessed me to give me a stepdad that fills those holes. While my stepdad is a Christian, he doesn't have the same intensity for God and the Word that my dad did, BUT he is open about his love and affection. He and my mom often come to visit and just spend time with us.
I have been blessed to have two fantastic dads in my life, each loving me in their own way, each pouring wonderful things into my life and heart.
Truly, God gives good gifts. I have had two of the best.
