A Special Father’s Day Tribute

The two most important men in my life are my Daddy and Nathan, my Husband.  (Monkey doesn’t count because he’s a Man in Training.  He’s the Most Important Boy)

I know that they will understand that today, Father’s Day, I am dedicating this post to a Father whose little girl is no longer in his arms, yet always in his heart; Mike Spohr

Thank you, Leslie, Dawn and VDog for the opportunity to offer tribute to an inspirational man, husband and father.

Mike,

This is for you.

Sometimes, the best we can do is share a person’s experience and let them know we have their back. That while we may not how they feel, we recognize that there are days that are just going to suck beyond the telling of it.

So today we celebrate firsts. Just a very few of Maddie’s firsts from the Spohr family flickr photostream:

    Thank you Rach!

    This was a wonderful idea and I get to be your father 24/7/365 so I think making the tribute to Mike was a great father’s present for me as well.

    Love Ya,
