There are many fathers that can relate to the day they walked their daughters down a aisle and gave their little girl away to another man. It was hard...very hard! I couldn't imagine not ever being the #1 man in Stacey's life ever again. For years and years I had been the one to protect her and to take care of her....to sit with her when she was sick and to beam with pride during those special accomplishments she achieved. Could any man love her as much as I do? Would any man respect her and treat her like the princess she is? Would he protect her and comfort her....would he take care of her when she didn't feel well? Would he provide a loving home and support her and his family financially, emotionally, physically, and most of all....spiritually.
God answered a silent prayer when He sent Joey to Stacey. Not only did He send him to take care of her and become one with her...He sent him to calm a father's fears. I love my son-in-law and am so proud of the husband and father he is and the future that God has in store for him. I want to wish him a Happy Birthday and pray that there will be many more to come. While his father is not here any longer, there is no doubt in my mind that Ralph would be ever so proud of his son. I know he sees the great man that his son has become.
Happy Birthday son!
