My Digital Studio Blog Hop Remembrance

 

MDS-Blog-Hop-001cw

 This week the talented Heather Summers chose the theme of "Remembrance". I know that Canada observes Remembrance Day as we observe Veteran's Day. I knew who I wanted to feature, just wasn't sure I would get the chance with all the craziness that has been my life this week! I will post on that later, I want today's post to focus on someone very special in my life, my Step-Dad, Russ.

 Russ married my mom just 2 months after I married Ryan 8 years ago. From day one he has made sure that my brother and I know how important we are. He raised 4 children of his own while serving in the USMC for 30 years. He is a Veteran of the Vietnam War, continues to support fellow Vets through many Veteran's organizations, and I am so grateful he is in my life. He loves my mom in a wonderfully special way. He looks at her with a sparkle in his eyes, he supports her, takes care of her. He is a great Papa to my boys, they adore him. He always has room on his lap, he is patient, kind, funny. He loves garage sales and gadgets, his family and country. I love him.

 This page nowhere compares to how great of a man he is, but I hope that he will see it and know that I am proud and so happy that he is a part of my life.

I am grateful for each of you that take the time to visit our hop each week, thank you!

    I actually started stamping because I was a scrapper – now I sometimes scrap because I’m a stamper.
