A Father's Love: Stepping into Fatherhood with Grace: To my amazing husband, who embraced the role of a father figure with open arms, I am in awe of your love and dedication. Parenting a child with autism presents unique challenges, but you have navigated this path with unwavering strength and compassion. Despite not being with Logan since his birth, you have forged an unbreakable bond, becoming best buds and teaching each other invaluable lessons along the way. Your commitment to learning and growing as a parent inspires us all.
Creating a Safe Haven: My Dad's Unconditional Love: To my dad, thank you for creating a safe space where Logan can feel loved, accepted, and cherished. Your home has become a place of joy and laughter, where Logan can explore, play, and build unforgettable memories. Your unwavering support during challenging times has been a source of strength for our family. From sharing stories to offering guidance, your presence has made a profound impact on our lives. We are eternally grateful for your love and support.
Honoring Father Figures: Grandfathers and Uncles: To all the incredible father figures who have influenced my life, my grandfathers and uncles, thank you for your unwavering support and guidance. Your presence has been a constant source of inspiration, teaching me the values of love, kindness, and resilience. Your unwavering belief in me has shaped the woman I am today. Your unconditional love and unwavering support have been instrumental in my journey as a mother.
Remembering Paul's Dad: A Tribute to His Legacy: On this Father's Day, we also pay tribute to Paul's dad, who is no longer with us.

The time spent together, working on cars and sharing precious moments, instilled lifelong lessons that shaped Paul into the remarkable man and father he is today. Though gone, his impact lives on in our hearts and memories.
The Guiding Light: Charles, a Father Figure Forever: After his father's passing, Charles, my father-in-law, stepped into Paul's life and became a guiding light. From fishing trips to hunting adventures, he imparted wisdom and provided a listening ear. Charles has been a constant source of support, offering guidance, and nurturing Paul's growth into an incredible man. His presence has been a true blessing in our lives, and we are forever grateful for his love and guidance.
