Dearest Bryan,

I can’t begin to describe the love I feel for you. My life has been blessed each and every day because you are in it. Thank you for being the kind of dad that loves to play with his children, but most importantly—for loving our kids enough to set a Christ-like example. Thank you for loving me, and demonstrating to our daughters the importance of respect in a marriage. Thank you for many, many years of laughter. Thirteen years ago when my father called me “weasel”, I had no idea how much that word would become such an intricate part of my life. For weeks you teased me with the phrase, and what was once a tease became a term of endearment.

…with that being said…”never tease a weasel”.
Happy Father’s Day 2012
Love, Weasel

 

When Bryan and I were first married, my father called me a "weasel". Bryan thought that word described me perfectly. He felt that my eyes, my mannerisms...everything allotted me anything and everything I wanted. From that moment on, I was called a weasel. In the beginning, I hated it! However, it has now become a term of endearment, and I know that when he is saying weasel, he is really saying, "You are my World, and I love you". I had to get him this children's book--it held so much meaning for us.
