With Father's Day just a few days ago; I wanted to post the letter that Chad wrote to Willow on the day of her dedication. He embodies what it means to be a great father. He works hard and is a good provider, he spends quality time with each of his daughters and most importantly he loves his wife and he loves his heavenly father. As a wife and mother I feel so blessed to call him my husband and the father of our children.

Willow,

We truly believe you are a special gift from God. Psalm 139:13-14 reads, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."

We look forward to watching you grow, both physically and your love for Jesus. You have given our family so much joy in the short time you have been with us. Although we know there will be challenges ahead, we also trust God will equip us to handle those.

Thank you for helping us realize what is really important in life, thank you for being you, thank you for opening us up to a whole new and exciting world, thank you for helping us truly understand unconditional love, thank you for changing our lives, and thank you for completing our family.

We love you so much,

Daddy, Mommy, Gillian and Ava
