Its that dreaded weekend coming up again ... Father's Day. Levi will come home with something he's made in class that everyone else has made for their dad .. he makes something for his Uncle Chris. Not sure what this year's gift will be but it usually has a poem of some kind talking about how great the man you call your dad is and how special you are to have him in your life. I of course have had many conversations with Levi's teachers on the matter and they understand the sensitivity on the subject so they are always happy to change the wording around to accommodate Levi making his gift for his Uncle Chris.
So while Levi has never questioned why his gift isn't for a dad versus an uncle it makes me wonder when he will begin to question this. What could I ever possibly say to him to make sure he knows he has always been loved from the beginning from so many people and always will. This and this alone is the only reason I dread this weekend every year.
Lexi's dad was never involved and then passed away when she was 3. I've never lied, but I don't really go into great detail either. I've always told her that there was a man that helped me make her, but he wasn't ready to be a daddy. So I searched and found her the best daddy ever, and then I married him. =) We've been married for 9 years now, and she never questions that he loves her and he is her daddy. You will find the perfect daddy for Levi! But the best things come to those who wait =)
