Conversations with Dad {Father’s Day Interview With Darrick}

 

Happy Fathers Day!!! 

So I joined in with a few other ladies in Conversations With Dad; an interview with Darrick!

Let me start off by saying I was truly blessed when God put Darrick and I together. Through the ups and downs he is always right by my side, being the best father and husband I could’ve asked for. He loves his family unconditionally, and no matter what is going on he is always there!

One time in particular that sticks out to me is this time below…I knew before but God has a way of showing you why he sends you the perfect mate!

I have posted all about our current situation with our son but I haven’t talked about how AWESOME my husband is!!! When we found out about the complications with Little Darrick I was on the operating table…it was a shock to both of us! Darrick held it together and told the doctors and nurses how to handle it so I wouldn’t find out until after surgery because he could see my heart rate going up because I knew something was wrong! He handled the situation then came back and stayed with me until after surgery was over, he kept me calm…after it was over he held me and told me everything that was going on he then went to the other hospital and handled things there. By the time I was discharged from the hospital and was able to go to the hospital that our son was at he had prepped everyone there too…they knew who I was and how NOT to bombard me with info! The nurses and doctors knew so much about me they all came out of their rooms introducing themselves…it’s crazy because I knew how bad he was hurting but he still went above and beyond as a husband and father!!! I’m so thankful for him…I truly married my best friend and hero!!! I Love You Darrick more than you will EVER KNOW!!!

This is just a snippet of the man Darrick is! He is truly AWESOME!

He is a very hands on parent, Emma has him wrapped around her finger (a few times), and Douglass he tries to play hard with him but he’s a sucker for him too! He reads books, sings songs, plays, dances, shows up for functions for Emma at school…and most importantly he prays with them and for them on a daily basis! 

Again, I could sing his praises daily and I couldn’t have asked for a better husband and father for my children! 

My interview with Darrick…

What advice did your father give you that you are currently using in your Fatherhood journey today?

Be Yourself…Dont Hide Anything

Let them see the Good and the Bad

You were 35 when you found out you were going to be a father, what were your first thoughts?

It was a WOW moment; I couldn’t wait…it was like a “dream come true” because I’ve always wanted children

What were your first thoughts when you saw your children for the first time?

The entire process stole my heart because of the beauty of the entire process…

When I first saw Emma…she was BEAUTIFUL!

When I saw the Twins…Handsome {look what we created}

What is the best thing about fatherhood?

All the love you receive, and when they tell you they love you with their eyes.

Lessons you want to instill in Emma and Douglass…

{Daddy’s Little Princess Emma}

Faith in God

Never Get Married-Daddy is All You Need  I told him to scratch this one…LOL!

No matter what you are ALWAYS beautiful inside and out

Be like your Mama {brownie points}

{Douglass…(Batman)}

Faith in God

Love your Wife and ALWAYS take care of your family

Never Compromise your Integrity

Always look for the beauty in the struggle

What do you want your children to remember about you?

I have always been facing the odds, and I always make it through…so my legacy would be Never Allow Someone to Tell You No. All things are possible through God.

What are you plans for the Father’s in your life? How will you celebrate them today?
