Daddie

I remember...
Our talks in the car- just the two of us. It still amazes me how much you listen to me.

Those moments when you haven't been ashamed or afraid to share your questions and tears in our faith; being so real and authentic in your walk with Him that I still want what you have.

The excitement with which you would bring an extra packet of scones for me :-) or the times you brought splash- after trying to remember everyone's favourite flavours, or when you brought Alvaro. You happily made us happy.

When we were still quite little you would call us on Sunday evening and say: Let's go for a ride! I just recall hopping into the car and going round and round and round the round-about :-)

We never thought you could cook.. until that afternoon you found Josh, Aby and I with sticky fingers as we had failed to make chapati dough. You took over, did the needful and walked off like a super star!

Thank you for loving mummy and together helping me see that this marriage thing is really possible.
Thank you for deliberately making time for us - those family holidays have been very meaningful and good fun. Thank You for exemplifying the father heart of God.
Thank you for loving me and telling me repeatedly that you do and that you are proud of me.
Thank you for accepting the man in my life and supporting us in our journey together.

You have modelled so many things for me. I look up to you, admire you, love you and I am very proud that I get to call you daddy.

Miss you daddy!  Australia is not that far!!!  Happy Birthday!
