The Lighthouse Keepers

 

For David and my dad on Father's Day  Lighthouse Keepers indeed. xo 

"The Lighthouse Keeper" by Sam Smith (video below)

Build yourself a boat, babe

Make yourself a sail

Float into the ocean

To nowhere

Yeah, I see you looking

Looking for a sign

Praying for a beacon

So here's the light

My arms will be wide open

For the moment you arrive, arrive

When you set sail on your journey

And happiness is far away

Love will guide you till the morning

Lead your heart down to the bay

Don't resist the rain and storm

I'll never leave you lost at sea

I will be your lighthouse keeper

Bring you safely home to me

I will be your lighthouse keeper

Bring you safely home

Yeah, I see you're lonely

Going in alone

Fire up the engine

Stoke the coal

Floating on a feeling

Fighting with the tide

Hoping you'll be home for

Christmas time

My arms will be wide open

For the moment you arrive, arrive

When you set sail on your journey

And happiness is far away

Love will guide you till the morning

Lead your heart down to the bay

Don't resist the rain and storm

I'll never leave you lost at sea

I will be your lighthouse keeper

Bring you safely home to me

I will be your lighthouse keeper

Bring you safely home to me. 

On Father's Day

On this Father's Day I would like to take time to honor all the amazing, hands-on dads that we are fortunate to count among our friends, but most importantly I would like to take a moment to honor my dad, David and his dad. Three men who are quietly strong and our biggest champions. For without these men life as I know it would not be possible. It is due to their hard work, and dedication to their families, that we are able to live this absolutely incredible life.

To David: I am so honored to get to be your wife, your best friend, the mama to your children and your all around partner-in-crime. Thank you for all the diapers you changed, the boo-boos you bandaged, the babies (and toddlers!) you wore, the tears you have dried, the costumes you have steamed, and the dance comps and recitals you have attended. Thank you for all the meals you have made (both during and after bikini comp prep), the dishes you have done, the stories you have read, the games you have played, and the adventures we have taken. Thank you for the laughter, love and friendship and thank you for embracing each of my ideas no matter how crazy they are! The girls and I are the luckiest ladies on earth! We you! 

Happy Father's Day!

Thank you for the rooms you have painted, the gardens you have planted and tended, the projects you have helped with, the things you have repaired, the walks you have taken. Thank you for the laughter, love and friendship and thank you for embracing and supporting each of my ideas no matter how crazy they may be and for being my biggest cheerleader and live-in coach during bikini comp prep! The girls and I are the luckiest ladies on earth! We love you! xo
