Grandpa

Since yesterday was Father's Day, I thought I would post about my dad in addition to posting about Jason. I'll post about Jason's first Father's Day separately.

If you know my Dad, you know I am one blessed girl. My Dad is an amazing man of God who sets a wonderful example of Christ's love. He has a servant's heart and just can't seem to say no when someone is in need. What you may not know is that technically, I'm adopted. My Dad married my Mom when I was three and adopted me officially when I was six. I started kindergarten with one last name and ended it with a different one. I remember the day we went to court to finalize the adoption. The judge took us back to his chambers and asked me if I wanted Ralph (he loves that name :-)) to be my Dad forever. I'm not sure if I understood why he was even asking me that question. Of course I did!!!

What a blessing my Dad is to me...to my sisters...to my whole family...to his friends and just about anyone he comes in contact with. And, now Lawson has the privilege of having him for a Grandpa!!

As you can see, Lawson is laid back and super happy to be hanging out with his Grandpa. Grandpa doesn't seem to mind it either. When I explain that my Dad isn't my biological father, people are kind of shocked. To be honest, so am I. Sometimes I even forget that's the case. I'm so thankful he's the Dad God chose for me!
