Fathers' Day!

Since it's Fathers' Day and my kids were blessed with the best dad in the world I want to dedicate this post to him. When I met Jason he was a single dad of four kids, he was entirely in love with being a dad and still is.  Being a dad was literally his goal in life growing up and he wanted as many kids as possible-YOU'RE WELCOME JASON! Honestly, despite the fact 90% of the time I want to murder him I love him more than anything, he is the best dad I have ever had the honor of meeting. Words can not express how much his kids adore him, they look forward to the long weekends when he comes home and fight over who gets to talk to him when he calls home. Jason takes his job as a dad very seriously and I love that about him, he never puts himself before his children and it's shown with everything going on with Callie. When he was offered his current job they were listing all of the benefits including the huge, much needed, increase of his salary and he stopped them to ask something. He asked their policy on transgender rights and protecting them. He knew at that moment if they didn't support transgender rights he would walk away from it and turn it down. That was just one of the many times he put his family before his wants, no matter what is going on he makes sure his family is okay. When my grandma died he was three hours away, it was early in the morning and we normally don't call each other too early because neither of us like mornings so when he saw his phone screen light up with my name on it he knew it wasn't going to be a good phone call. I apparently never even got the words out about what happened, I just cried and said "my grandma" and he told me he'd be home ASAP. He meant it, next thing I knew he was at the house taking care of the kids so I could go be with my dad and brother. He knew he had to be here, he never uses distance as an excuse to miss any big event in the kids lives. He has vowed to them to never miss at least their first game and then their last home game(all of them are home games right now though!), he promised to never miss a karate tournament, a gym meet, or whatever they're doing he wants to be as involved as possible and I love that about him. People always question why I would be okay with a "random guy" parenting my kids, but if you knew him you'd understand he's more than just a father, he is a dad. "Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad"-Wade Boggs. Happy Fathers' Day Jason! We love you!
