This song has always reminded me of my dad and I wanted to share the lyrics-
I remember Daddy's hands, Folded silently in prayer
And reaching out to hold me When I had a nightmare
You could read quite a story In the callouses and lines
Years of work and worry Had left their mark behind
I remember Daddy's hands, How they held my Mama tight
I remember Daddy's hands, How they held my Mama tight
And patted my back For something done right
There are things I've forgotten That I loved about the man
But I'll always remember The love in Daddy's hands
Daddy's hands Were soft and kind when I was cryin'
Daddy's hands Were soft and kind when I was cryin'
Daddy's hands Were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands Were always gentle and I've come to understand
There was always love in Daddy's hands
I remember Daddy's hands Working til they bled
I remember Daddy's hands Working til they bled
Sacrificed unselfishly Just to keep us all fed
If I could do things over I'd live my life again
And never take for granted The love in Daddy's hands
We love Dad!
And so do the grandkids!
Dad and all of his "kiddos"-
Dad with baby Emery
Such a great grandad!!
I have the best dad in the world and our children are so blessed to have him as their Grandad! My dad is the most gentle, humble and selfless man that I know and I am so proud and blessed to have him as my earthly father.
We had a wonderful day on Sunday! After church we met my family for lunch then the four of us went to the pool to relax a little bit. Jay is such a wonderful dad. His biological father passed away several years ago and I believe that has really played a huge role in the relationship that he has our children. He loves Elan & Emery with all of his heart and it is so precious to see how much they love him too. There is nothing more special than seeing our childing loving on their daddy!! I am so grateful to God that our children have daddy that is so passionate about life, funloving, generous, humble, compassionate and loves Jesus!
We love daddy!
Elan loves to have a toothpick in his mouth just like Jay...
Fun at the pool...
Daddy's baby girl- She loves her daddy!!!
After a "rough" day at the pool... like father, like son...
