My Poppa

In honor of a day meant to commemorate the wonderful men in our lives – here is Abi’s tribute to her most amazing father.

 

Donald is an amazing father.  He loves Abi where she is.  Not that his love isn’t mature over her as she will grow up; but he loves her in the moment.  I see Christ’s love for us so clearly in this.  He loves us where we are.  Donald fathers Abi.  He is tender, he makes her feel special, he disciplines her, he believes good things about her, he loves her.  Donald makes Abi giggle.  And he delights in these simple moments.  He doesn’t live in “la-la land” regarding abi – he recognizes her humanity – but loves her regardless of these things.  This is what fathers do.  He loves her.

Per Abi – She is so thankful that donald is her poppa.  I am so glad too.  He is the most amazing father I know.  We love him.
