"A Father's Love"

I am LITERALLY crying right now because of how beautiful the story I just read is. I came across this story on buzzfeed (one of my favorite websites to waste time on)and I just had to share it with you as my next blog post. The story is called A Father's Love.

I don't know about you but being a girl I am looking forward to my wedding day along with the moment where my father gets to walk me down the isle. My dad is very important to me. He's so much stronger than he believes he is and he is alwyas there for me. Even at 21 I still go sit on his lap. (It's also a good tatic to ask him for something becuase when I sit on his lap he hardly ever says "no" to me!) I am in the process of trying to convince him to go wedding dress shopping with me when the time comes. Something that I've been in the process of for about a year now, even though I'm no where near getting married.

Anyways, back to the main reason I'm writing...this blog post: http://www.fotolanthropy.com/the-evans-family/ Like I said, I am LITERALLY crying right now because of what I just read. It's a story about Fred Evans and the surprise he gifted his two daughters and wife with. I'd try to explain it in my own words but I think Katie, the owner of the blog, does it much better than I could.

"After learning he had just months to live, Fred wanted to surprise two of his daughters and wife with a special gift. An inspiring story of a Father’s love to his family...Fred Evan’s was recovering from a double lung transplant when doctors discovered metastatic melanoma. Because of the medications he was taking to keep his body from rejecting his new lugs, Fred is unable to endure much chemotherapy to treat the cancer. Upon this discovery, Fred was given just months to live...Fred has four children, three daughters, Martha, Gracie and Kate and one son named Daniel. Two of the daughters, Gracie and Kate are not married. As a daddy, Fred wants to make sure he got the opportunity to walk his other two daughters down the aisle and give them away...After Fred walked Gracie and Kate down the aisle, Fred announced he had one more bride. Karla was so confused at first but she was totally surprised when Fred told her he wanted to renew their vows that day...Roland, Karla’s brother officiated the simple ceremony, as they each promised to continue to love each other for the rest of their lives...Fred Evans received his wings on July, 25 2013."

Please go read this whole story on the Fotolanthropy blog! It's worth the time. There are also pictures of the whole thing which pulled on my heart strings...hence the crying. There are also many other stories of amazing love, hope and faith on this blog. It's a beautiful way to celebrate life.
