I've been thinking a lot about what I wrote on Father's Day. My acknowledgements were lacking. [by two] There may be more, but this is what I've been pondering.
Let me tell you a little about my father-in-law. He is awesome. I couldn't ask for a better one. I admire him in so many ways. He raised my husband and did a pretty fantastic job [with mucho help from his beautiful wife, my mother-in-law]. He is this brilliant professional who stands up [against all odds] for what he believes. Constantly generous. Always thinking. Funny. Tender. Thoughtful man. Strong leader in so many places. AND a dreamer. Musician scientist-- right and left brains collide and there his is. I know he loves me like a daughter. I feel 100% adopted. The name-sake of our boy. I'm so proud to be a part of his family.
And then there's one other father. A man who is about to enter our lives and stay forever. A man we've never met, who one day soon we'll be bonded to. The biological-father of our baby. I pray for this man. He has many faces. I don't know his age, race or ethnicity. So, I imagine them all. I am really hoping to meet him someday. We may not; but he'll still be a part of our family. And I just wanted to recognize him too.
Happy Belated Father's Day.
Kristen
