Here it is again--another father's day. Time passes quickly and we have one "child" left at home but we will always be their parents no matter their ages. I am blessed with a wonderful husband who is also a wonderful father. My own father died when I was 10 years old so I appreciate the importance of a father but especially a good one.
Bruce has always loved his children more than himself. When he was worn out with work he would still come home and get down on the floor to play with them and tell them stories at bedtime and encourage them in their hopes and dreams. He still involves himself in their lives and keeps the relationships strong. He has gone to many a game, concert, or any event that our children were involved in always cheering them on.
Know this day, Bruce, that you are well loved and we appreciate you. You have been a good partner in life for me and I still choose you over all others.

Mama Joan,
You honor me with your loving tribute, and I am blessed to be your "lawfully wedded husband" (which is what Judson Woodbridge said at the wedding!). I do like being a F-A-T-H-E-R. . .
Our children are wonderful friends and confidants as we grow older. We always wanted to "change the world" (something we wrote about before we were married that summer) by our family, what they did and who they would become, and, indeed I think we have, and continue to do so.
Your love and support means more than I can say.
So, I'd like to announce that we need to have a traveling family softball team to challenge families in every town in America to a duel. We will need to get sponsors and a 10 seat Winnebago, and everyone will have to quit their jobs. It will hard at first, but we need to start in Alaska for the first set of games. You make a quilt for every town. Let's get started!
