And in September 2009 Mommy was diagnosed with a terminal disease (a genetic form of ALS) that took her to Heaven in July, 2011, leaving Daddy and two young girls to make it on their own.

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers day to my husband and the father of my daughters. You are an incredible father and husband. The last few years have been difficult ones in many ways, but most of all we have relied on God for all our needs and worked through each day together. We have made it through each issue and each delight. We have learned alot along the way. We know that children and family are precious and we should be thankful for them. We never can tell how long any of us have on this earth. We have learned together that possessions are nothing in comparison to the life of a loved one. We have learned to rely on each other and on God.

I know that this last year has been especially hard on you, Scott. This disease has taken so much from me and in turn from you. We don't want it to be this way, but this is where we are. Once again we have to take things one at time. You have had to learn to do things that I used to do and sometimes fumble through it. You have had to become mommy and daddy and my caregiver. We thank God for sending Jenny to us. She has been an absolute godsend.

I love you for all that you are, for caring for me and our household, for teaching our girls so they can become beautiful young ladies who love God, and for being you. Drive safely as you take the girls to camp and enjoy the time that you have with the girls and then have a safe drive home. I love you with all my heart.

Happy Fathers day to my loving husband and to all the fathers who read this.

Frances...you never cease to amaze me. When I consider the hours and the effort it took for you to post this loving tribute to Scott, my heart fills up and my eyes well with tears. The two of you have taught me more about what it means to love than any other people on the planet. You will never know the impact that your life has had on mine. I pray God's mighty blessings on you today- as I do each day... And Scott...what a gift you've been given...Happy Father's Day! Praying for you all...always and still.

Unbelievable! If the value of a gift is the thought and effort it took to create it, Scott, you have been given the best gift you could possibly receive. What a special woman she is! Happy Father's Day, Scott.
