Last Father's Day was Jon's 1st as a Father.
I was in Arizona for baby Daxtons funeral {sad} and I left Jon and Max at home. I called him and told him I loved him but I didnt even get him a card or gift or really celebrate his fatherhood. I regret that. Jon is the most amazing Dad and deserves to bask in fathers day glory.
This Father's Day, Max and I woke him up with Squirt Guns and gave him the Batman card Max colored for his dadda. I started to pull out breakfast ingredients and asked what I could make him. and all he wanted was a yogurt. Not much of a celebratory meal but then we all hopped back in bed {my pillow was sopping cuz thats what Jonno used to protect himself from our attack} and had a morning cuddle puddle before church.
That afternoon Jon left on his last trip of the summer...HAP-HAPPY-TALK!
I miss you Jonno. I wrote you a letter right after you left, on real paper with a real pen and then thought about mailing it to the center. and I found a real stamp and envelope. then It sat on our crap piled table for 2 days so I decided I wanted you to read it now so I am blogging it to you...
DEAR Jon Butler:
Its still Fathers Day. and you are gone.
I miss you already. I miss you more than ever.
so I had to write you a letter.
Thank you for taking me to the temple and making me yours forever.
Thank you for being my helpmate.
You help me more than anyone in this world.
Its pretty ridiculous how difficult it is for me to function without you.
Thank you for having the coolest kid with me.
He's amazing and its because he has you as a Dad.
Thank you for being my best friend. I am so thankful Heavenly Father blessed me with such a rad man.
I hope you are happy and safe and that your week will be good.
Miss me cuz i'm rad too! and Fat with your baby!
I love you so so Much!
Happy Father's Day.
Love-Lynd

That is such a sweet letter. I totally suck at making Rob's b-day special, but he always makes mine so special...I'll get better one day I hope.
What a cute post. I love the unique way that you write and express things. It seems like Jon is a really good match for you.
And congrats on another boy! That will be so fun for Max to have a buddy.
