I do want to say that a wise person once said, that as long as you are breathing it is not too late to right a wrong, show someone love or make amends! You cannot force another to forgive you, nor can you make their opinion of you perfect, but you can put forth effort!

My brother has the cutest saying… When someone is looking for something that is right in front of them…
It is right beside the E for Effort!

Sonny, you are an awesome husband and a very talented man. You are such a wonderful provider, which is not always financial, sometimes it is in an explanation, which is another of your marvelous gifts.
Love

I have always called him Sonny, because I did have a biological father Jack Townley who I loved very much, and always called him dad. It was never anything against Sonny in any way, and I hope I have proven that over the years. I just didn’t call both of them dad. My girls have never met my real father, but they call him “Grandpa Jack” It is really cute. They call Sonny “Dah” or “Da” (still don’t know the spelling, sorry).

I lost my Dad when when I was eight. My mom and Sonny were already together at time. I don’t know where I am going with this, but it is hard to think about my Dad on Father’s Day or the Day after, or any day for that matter. It is hard to lose a parent, and especially when I was that young.

Getting back to Sonny, I have loved him as a father even before my dad died, but over the years the love continued to grow. Sonny was always there for me, even if he didn’t realize it, or if he had odd ways of dealing with things. I truly believe that he did it all out of love.

I truly love you Sonny, and am very proud to tell people you are my dad. I miss my real dad very much, but you have been there. You are not a replacement, but on your own level as my dad. I have been lucky enough to have two dads, and most people don’t get that opportunity.

As for Daddy Bill, he was awesome. I also loved him very much. Funny story about one night we were driving around, and didn’t have enough seats or seat belts, and we had to cram in. I don’t even remember exactly how old I was, but Daddy Bill actually sat in my lap as we drove around.

So Sonny sitting in his lap was amusing, but could you imagine a grown man sitting in the lap of a child. Just sharing.

I still don’t know where I am going with all of this, but maybe I should just say:

I love you Sonny, and miss you very much. Alyssa and Sara also love you very much.

Love always: Chris

Love you
