Okay, so not really the way the song goes but you get the idea. This one's dedicated to my hard working man. Matthew's always been "oil-field trash" and comes by it honest since all of his family is also in the same field. It's amazing really to see where he started and where he is now. From a shop-hand to a business owner is quite a transition and we are ever thankful to God for giving him such an opportunity.
That being said, he is one of the hardest and most dedicated men I know. He wakes up early to start his day and sometimes doesn't really get sleep while he works through the night. And despite all of this, he still makes time for his family. It's been hard and there have been some sacrifices made but the one thing about my husband is that he truly lives for his family. In a later post, I'll discuss his daddy-daughter date nights which mean the world to both Skylar and I. He's a very good man and I'm blessed to have him.
My prayer has always been that he find something that makes him happy - not successful - although that would be nice too. I pray that he always keep God first, his family second, and remember that business ventures come and go but family is forever! I doubt that in later years when my kids reflect on their father that they would say something like "hey dad, I'm so thankful to you for a cool car and a big house." No, I think it would be something more along the lines of "I'm thankful that you were always there for me when I needed you and you loved me unconditionally." I say it all of the time but I'm very VERY blessed because my prayers have been answered and I couldn't ask for a better "daddy" for our kids.
So - WE LOVE YOU DADDY! Thank you for everything you do and for all the love you give!
