A lot has happened in the past between Pete and I. I honestly thought he would never come around and Kenley would never know her dad. I don't know what changed in Pete's mind... he says he doesn't even know... but I really am glad that he did. Seeing him with Kenley brings a smile to my face because seeing a father with his child is a beautiful thing. I know he loves her so much and would do anything in the world for her. He has made sacrafices in his life for her and has worked a job I know he hated so that he could be sure to provide for her. I think he is a wonderful father... whether he believes that or not and now I know I need to tell him that more often. Kenley deserves to have us both in her life. I hate seeing children that don't have both their mother and father... it honestly breaks my heart.
I know Justin and I never had the best relationship... and clearly things didn't work out between the 2 of us, but I thank God daily that Aiden has such a wonderful daddy. He re-enlisted in the Army when I was pregnant to be able to take care of his son. I know he didn't want to, but instead of being selfish... he did what he needed to do. That's a father. We don't always see eye to eye, but we do what we need to both be great parents. He calls Aiden everyday to talk to him and always tells him how much he loves and misses him. Aiden is the spitting image of his daddy too. Justin works very hard to see Aiden as much as he possibly can... he even plans to stay within a few hours of where I live when he gets out of the Army so he can see Aiden as much as he can.I think men that choose not to be in their kids lives don't deserve to know their children and the kids are better off, but to think kids don't get to meet their dads because of different circumstances breaks my heart. I feel very lucky that both of my children will grow up with their fathers!
