In honor of Father's Day and the amazing father that my sweet husband is, here is a poem I found and some pictures that give a glimpse into how very much Jon David's daddy loves him!
The first picture (above) is my little 4 1/2 lb. baby boy still in the NICU clutching his daddy's finger. I think the two of them made some pact during those early days -you and me, Daddy, we're a team!
Help me build a boy that knows

A Father's Prayer
Lord I'm askin’ for Your help
Lord I'm askin’ for Your help
To raise my newborn son,
Give me strength and guide me
‘Cause I know that You're the one.
That sent this angel to me
A little heaven here on earth,
For now I know my place in life...
I'm no longer who comes first.
Once I had no answer
As to why it is I'm here,
But when I looked into my baby's eyes....
It all became so clear.
This little bit of heaven
Owns me, heart and soul
And it's You that sent him to me
A greater love I'll never know.
So take these rugged hands of mine
Help me to understand,
Just what it is I need to do
To raise this little man.
Help me build a boy that knows
It's You that holds the key,
To all that heaven holds for us
Show him Your love through me.

What a beautiful prayer, Denise! GOosh, Jon David was so tiny! I don't know how you did it - I would have been a nervous wreck holding a baby that small! It's amazing how much they change! I love looking at Daddy and Baby pics - you can tell Jon David is absolutely adored by his father!
Happy Father's Day to Jon David's Daddy. Very nice post Denise.
Ah, lost this post. The poem was wonderful, and the shoes beside each other were too cute. Happy Fathers Day!!!
What a precious picture! Jon's blessed to have JD as his daddy! Enjoy your day!
These are such sweet pictures! I love the first one of Jon David holding your hubby's finger. I love poem!

This is such a sweet post. I love the first picture with Jon David's tiny hand, and the one of their shoes- it is perfect!
