"To Be A Father" - from Jonathan

'To be a Father is to promise to open yourself up to the power of love and all the strength and growth that comes with it.

It is a promise to teach right from wrong by leading from example.

A promise to see the wonder and joys of the world through a child's eyes.

To be a father is to savor all the precious, little moments that add up to a lifetime of joy.......

And to know how incredibly special you are to someone who loves you very much.'

Happy Father's Day, Jonathan

'To Nate, the Father of my Children' - Poem from SGB

You had one child biologically related to you.
The other two children were spiritual births.
You fought hard for the three of them
To attain their maturity and wisdom.

Your reward has been pure gold--
The joy of witnessing the convergence of their families
And welcoming the babies. With them
Your fathering moved to a new level.

Wisdom is an evolving process
That trickles down through generations.
Our children look to you for the judgement
Won by your years and sterling intuition.

We do not know the future
But our children know their foundation
Resides in a father as strong as a tree
With unshakable faith that the universe is good.
