My dads a Catholic Pollock!

..and I love him more than you can ever imagine! Hes always been hard on us kids. By the way did I mention I have 8 brothers and sisters in total?! Well now that we've established that, back to what I was saying about my father. He's basically the most amazing man I could ever have been blessed with to be raised by. He may not be my biological..."donor" but hes 100% without a doubt the only man whos played the role of dad in my life. He has a strong opinion and has always tried to instill a great amount of responsiblity in his children. Some of us are more hard headed than others, but for the most part we can own it. I dont know what I would have done without him. He may be a stubborn polish man, but every once in a while you can see that smile that lights up his whole face. Since my family lives in Marylannd, and I live in Kentucky Im not able to see it as much as I would like to. He came to visit this weekend with my sisters. I had such an amazing time! I got to see his smile. And the thing is my dads smile is the kind of smile that you have to smile because of. You can just feel the excitement radiate off of him. We've been quite the handful, and im honored to say that I truely feel my daddy is proud of me. I miss him all of the time, and I get closer with him more and more everyday now that I am a mother. And boy does he love Channing. One of the things he said this weekend that my babys got attitude (in our generation he would be referring to SWAG!). Not to mention the fact that he loves that hes a little country boy whom he refers to as Cledus. I love the way he loves him, and I wish we lived closer than 10 hours away from each other so he could see and watch him grow. But God has a plan and I will not question him on it. I will just be thankful for his many blessing, and know its all part of a bigger picture in which I do not see yet.

One of the best men in the world...

I am 99% sure my dad will never see this blog, nor know it even exists. But if your reading this Daddy, I love you and you are the greatest father. The day you walked me down the isle was one of the best memories of my life. You mean more to me than you will ever know. I love you to the moon and back.
