When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
I overheard him pop the question and prayed that she'd say yes
And then all of a sudden
Oh, it seemed so strange to me
How we went from something's missing
To a family
Lookin' back all I can say
About all the things he did for me
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be
Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be
Because he didn't have to be
You know he didn't have to be.

I love the last picture the best. Happy Father's Day.
That just made me all teary, thinking of how amazing Jason has been for you guys, and how lucky you ALL are to have each other. That last photo is beyond beautiful.

Kinda funny... I had Brad Paisley playing in the background while reading this... too bad it was "Alcohol". LOL But seriously, it's always so wonderful to hear a story like this, a man (or woman) taking in and loving kids that aren't their own and treating them like they were. :) Congrats.
now this is lovely!
