one. because he always.always.always. hugs my neck and kisses me on the forehead. he never misses it. ever. always does it as soon as he walks in the door. no matter how good, bad or ugly his day has been.
two. because when i was six months pregnant and worried about working/school/etc and being a mom, he held my hand...sitting in the truck in the driveway in maumelle and promised me that i could do whatever i wanted. whatever felt right. even if that meant me staying home while he worked. even if we had to cut back...and budget more than we already did...it was a possibility.
three. for always listening to me. even when i think he isn't.
four. for watching horrible reality tv shows with me and never complaining. well...rarely complaining.
five. for surprising me with a baby blue nursery when i returned from new york. before we even knew it was a boy. i think i was 15 weeks pregnant. maybe 16. and he moved his office to the downstairs closet so that we could have a nursery.
six. for loving me. day after day. for accepting me. with all my faults. for being trustworthy. for always being honest. for loving me forever. i already know he will. i'm completely, one hundred percent certain of it.
and now...pratt's list.
one. for always grabbing me when you come in the backdoor.
two. for taking me outside. something mom hates to do. she claims she can't sweat...and that the sun gives her freckles.
three. for working so hard so that mom can be here with me everyday. so she can feed me waffles and berries. and we can read books and go to target.
four. for knowing how to be a dad...a wonderful dad without reading a single book...without ever having to practice.
four. for knowing how to be a dad...a wonderful dad without reading a single book...without ever having to practice.
and five. for loving mom.
we love you dad. we are so blessed you belong to us.

So sweet Hannah. I'm crying. Thank you so much for sharing Father's Day with us. It was such a beautiful day and it meant so much to me that you were there. Hope Clint had a wonderful "first" Father's Day.
