I am beyond blessed with four of the most amazing fathers. I have a rarity. I have the quadfecta of holy men.
Holy.
Set apart.
Revered.
Living according to a highly moral system.
All four of them.
Most girls don’t meet four men like this in their lives. I am lucky enough to have them as fathers in my life.
Thank you Pappap. You are the heart that pumps our family lifeline. You inspire us. You engage us. You know how to love more deeply and affectionately than any man I have ever met. And you do it with an air of Godliness unlike anything I have ever seen. Pappap, you are so loved.
Dad. Daddy. How can I possibly tell you thank you? You are beyond generous. And accepting. And have shown me the true meaning of forgiveness. You unlike any one else have showed me the way of humility. And grace. I love you on the cellular level.
Dearest Pastor Dad, What an amazing unseen blessing I got when I married your son. I got you. And that is a rare gift indeed. I am incredibly thankful that you are in our lives…and so happy that Will has a grandfather like you.
Oh Jeremy. I don’t have the words honey. When I think of you I just break into tears of thankfulness. I am so very thankful for you. For all that you do. And all that you are. And all that you try, hope and are going to be. And I am so excited about one day giving you more babies, being old with you, and celebrating your fiftieth father’s day.
you’re up late! and this is sweet. you are lucky. i wish i still had my grandpa around!!

What a precious video, so many gorgeous pictures of your beautiful family! Will is blessed to have both of you as parents. And you are blessed indeed to have so many godly men in your life. Hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating!
Oh how I love picture videos. That was beautiful! God bless!
You never fail to make me cry with Jeremy and Will pictures/videos . I hope you had a wonderful day with all your dads.
awesome. inspiring. tear jerking. wonderful. And you know what else, I bet those 4 daddy’s are happy that they have you two. Another amazing post. Thinking of starting to blog and you are a huge inspiration for that. Thank you.
What a sweet video. Hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating Father’s Day!
Umm.. I just cried in my cubicle. Give a girl a heads up to get a box of tissues next time! 😉 Sweetest picture collection ever!
such a sweet video! i had to turn the volume off for fear of tears!
Tear. Sob. What a sweet sweet post. I posted about my daddy too. Wishing I still had my grandpas!
Oh my goodness – Way to make a girl cry. Beautiful pictures and video. You are blessed, Katie Bower! If you had anything to say about it, I know your guys all had a fantabulous Father’s Day!
Katie,
This was absolutely beautiful! I second Gloria, You are truly blessed with a gift to put something like this together to speak for your son, Will, to bless his Daddy and your husband. I was so touched. When I have kiddos, I’m stealing this idea for my husband, but I don’t know that I could pull it off with such gloriousness! I love what you said about all the men in your life. It’s wonderful and a blessing to have such strength and meekness and love in your life, right?! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
Awwww Katie. I am so happy to watch that video. It makes me can’t wait to meet the man of my dreams who is going to be the best father to my future children.
Oh boy, I am a blubbering crying mess at my desk after watching that video! So very beautiful!
I had a lump in my throat watching your video. So sweet 🙂
What a beautiful video. It really made me tear up. I did something similar for my husband from our son. I made a Shutterfly photo book showing him all the reasons we love him so much. It was such a hit that it is going to become an annual thing.
The video was beautiful!!! I don’t even know you but I had tears in my eyes just watching those wonderful moments between your husband and your son.
What incredible men! Amazing how attractive Godliness makes a man. I get choked up when I think about my fiance being my baby daddy one day.
so precious. you really captured some beautiful life moments here. Such a blessing to witness a loving bond between a father and his children, isn’t it? I was really struck by that this weekend as my husband ran around the yard with our kids on Father’s day – just loving them and having fun.
….and I am crying. Beautiful Words, Beautiful way to capture the men you love.
I always get so teary-eyed when you share about your love of your husband! Such wonderful photos of your family!
Sweetness personified!
So sweet!
you are lucky. it’s great you know that.
This video just melts my heart. You are one lucky lady to have such amazing men in your life.
So very glad I watched this at home. Although I have an amazing daddy in my life, I am looking forward to that great husband and father of my children someday. What a great video, you never fail to make me cry with these things!
Katie,
I read your blog almost daily, and I have to admit, it’s as much for the posts like these as it is to get some DYI inspiration : ) You have touched my heart so many times, and today was no exception. You are so blessed to have these men in your life and to have beautiful little Will. In turn, they are all so blessed to have someone so gifted, so dedicated, so loving, so beautiful, and so full of zest for this life. I, too, have been blessed with Godly men in my life. Truly, nothing can compare to that. I wish you many years of joy with your family. Thank you for being such a light. Thank you for the beautiful video~
Well you’ve got me bawling… especially since my little guy that is Will’s age is currently in the hospital and we spent Father’s Day there. I felt so bad for not having anything for my husband or my Dad on that day. You really make me appreciate everything I have and cherish those little moments in life that so easily pass us by. Thanks Katie.
I’m so sorry to hear that your little man in not well Emily! I hope that you guys can all be home together soon!

Katie- I love the video! Almost made me cry it was so sweet! 🙂 How did you make it?
Katie katie katie, you need to warn us before breaking into this sweet gushy stuff…I had no warning and welled up in front of my computer at work. I look like an emotional wreck to the new guy that just walked in my office. Sheesh!!!! hahaha. love your blog.
Well, shoot, Katie. Thanks SO much for making that baby bug I’ve been trying to suffocate flare up again.
When you talk about Jeremy, it often reminds me of my husband…who coincidentally is named Jared, but that’s not their main similarity. Jared, like Jeremy, is a MAN’S man but with such a gentle heart for his family. I’m so excited to see him as a daddy someday. God gave us good ones, Bower.
I use Windows Movie Maker…it’s nothing fancy but it gets the job done 🙂

beautiful video! i have a jeremy too and hope he’s a wonderful father some day too.
Katie – Just watched your video. Again. For like the 3rd time. Just had to tell you (this time) that you did such a great job with it & you have a beautiful family. Makes me incredibly happy for you & I don’t even really know you (in real life).
