In Honor Of Fathers

Today is Father's Day, a day to honor the father's of the world for all they do. I am fortunate. My father is still very much alive and well. My father has always been my champion, again I am fortunate. I grew up believing in hero's, I lived with one.

My father was not thrilled when he first heard I was going to become a hypnotist. He only wanted the best for his daughter. Well, he was open to hearing about hypnosis and why I believed in it's possibilities. He now not only approves, he is one of my strongest advocates. WOW! My father visits me at my office often. He has said to me on many occasions, "How did I get such a wonderful daughter?" I have no answer, I am humbled, after all, how did I get such a wonderful father?

My sons are lucky as well. They have two dads that love them. I am divorced from their biological father. He is still very much a part of their lives and mine. We may not do marriage well, but we sure can co-parent!

I am married to a man who is much like my father. Because, he too, is my hero. He took on a single mom and two young sons, married us all ten years ago. Yes, married us all. You see, when we exchanged vows and rings, he made vows to the boys as well. He promised to never try and replace their dad, but to be there for them, like a dad. He promised to love, protect and guide them. He gave them rings to match his as a symbol of that promise.

My husband is there for the homework, the projects, the chores, the driving to events, etc. He enforces the rules, brings home rewards and surprises us with frozen yogurt for no apparent reason. As I have said before, he always brings home the laughs.

So this video is a tribute to my Dad, as I am Daddy's little girl. However, don't be fooled, it is also a tribute to my husband because I admire him so.
