Show Dad Some Love
Let’s show Dad some love this Father’s Day.
Every time I get to share this sweet story I do. Our team loves when the girls come to our Center and bring the baby’s father in with them. It is so amazing to watch them step up to the plate and do all they can to be incredible dads. Many of the men that we talk to have never had someone look at them and say positive things. That is truly sad!
We had a guy come in with his girlfriend not too long ago. I will call her, Samantha just for confidentiality reasons. Samantha and her boyfriend, Tanner were not sure if they were really pregnant. We sure were glad they found us!
Samantha was a beautiful young lady. Fresh out of high school and entering college to be a nurse. Her long brown hair glistened as she talked about her excitement about being a nurse. Tanner with his high and tight haircut just glowed when he looked at Samantha as she shared about her desires for school.
The Ultrasound
The nurse shared they were indeed pregnant and that we could perform an ultrasound that same day. Thrilled and wanting to know more they agreed. As Tanner sat in the chair beside the exam table he anxiously watched the ultrasound monitor as the nurse explained the ultrasound exam to them.
As soon as the nurse started the ultrasound exam the image of the baby was so clear. The baby was putting on quite the show for mom and dad. You could see this sweet little baby move and jump within the womb. Tanner locked his big blue eyes on the ultrasound monitor as he watched his baby move. He looked over at our nurse at one point and asked, “Is that, my baby?”
Our nurse looked at Tanner and said, “Of course, he looks just like you.” Giggling started from the dad. He could not contain his excitement. He started giggling so hard that his whole body was rocking back and forth in the little fold-out chair. Before long he had all of us giggling as we watch that precious gift of life before our eyes.
Isn’t this how we long for those encounters to be? What a joy that we get to do this work each and every day and impact the lives we see. People that give make this life-saving work possible and ensure moms and dads don’t have to worry about the cost. The cost has been paid on behalf of incredible people like you who want to make a difference.
Dads are such an important part of our lives, whether they are blood or not. Let’s show them some love this Father’s Day shall we. We have created a couple of ways we can show love to those special men in our lives.
