Gregs Birthday


Today was my best friends Birthday......I miss him.
This photo was taken several years ago but it definitely shows the full life we had together. Greg was an instant father when he married me and gained 4 children all at once. He became a Very Good Father at that. Even before we had a son together, he took on the roll as Dad so easily and took so much pride in all my kids achievements. For 20 years now people would never know they weren't actually his kids. He loved them all and became so very proud of them. I know it was his greatest achievement and one he was extremely proud of!

  1. He sounds like he was quite the man. Not a lot of men will step into an instant family and do such a great job. Thank goodness for all the happy memories you have. Hugs.

  2. I noted the date as Greg's birthday and found myself thinking about how proud of a Dad he was. I keep thinking of his grin as he watched basketball games or play in general.

  3. I remember him taking us all to the fair one year, it was so fun...he was such a kid at heart as well (I think that helps in being a great father). I miss him too...

  5. and credit to your children too because kids can make it very difficult for the incoming step-parent if they decide to.
