Transparency re: Father’s Day
Full transparency on Father’s Day, a day of big feelings (often leading to big actions) for our kiddos...and dads!
For some it is a confusing day of expectations, split loyalty, being hit head on with anger, anxiety, grief, fear and the reminder of immense loss.
For D it has been a roller-coaster of a week excitement, fears, and anxiety as he met his bio-father for the first time. It’s been a rocky road to walk through this with him.
For A it’s a time of processing thoughts and feelings of disappointment, resentment and yet oddly some safety/relief not knowing about his own bio-dad (though with his permission we’ve been seeking info, no answers yet.)
A day of mixed emotions for us too, as we think of and remember our own Dads; one in heaven and one long gone from the picture.
But also of great celebration for these amazing boys we are so blessed to love and who call Beaver, Dad (especially when they are wrapping him around their little fingers🤣💙)
To all the men out there inspiring, influencing, and investing into the lives of kids, thank you!!
To the dads who hurting related to loss, separation, or broken dreams, we see you, God sees you, you are loved.
