And specifically, to my amazing Husband, and to my big brother Nathan, and even to my sweet Grandpa, these song lyrics were written for rare men like you, who did not have to be fathers to someone else's child...but chose to anyway.
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
I overheard him pop the question and prayed that she'd say yes
And then all of a sudden
Oh, it seemed so strange to me
How we went from something's missing
To a family
Lookin' back all I can say
About all the things he did for me
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be
-Brad Paisley
I love you each so much for being the kind of men that step up to the responsibilities that so many others have neglected. Happy Fathers Day <3
