Dear Dad

Dear Dad,
It's Eric's birthday today. Mom took Lexi to the grocery store to pick out a cake for him on their way home from school. As usual, she hit a home run with the cake she chose for him. I think they have much of the same taste and that she really just picks out cakes that she would like. I was really excited about the card that I found...though I know cards are not exciting to boys. It was my first "husband" card that I got to give him. Funny thing is...I was fighting the marriage thing so hard, but standing in Hallmark sifting through greeting cards, underneath the HUSBAND sign I actually felt good. I was really proud to be able to have such a wonderful reason to stand in that spot. I really think I picked the right boy for me. Mixed in with all the things I've done that seemed so wrong (not far after walking past the decision), are Lexi and Eric: two things that were and are right; they just fit. I know you knew that I'd eventually find my way. I'm just so very happy that I was able to share them with you.
