Fun Facts:
Hard working, loves unconditional, a man of his words.
Why should he be the hottest dad of the year?
I’m obviously bias, as this is my husband, sorry this is gonna be a bit lengthy , we were a second go round marriage. My boys were 4 & 7, his son was older, 12. Blended families are hard, add in ex’s for salt in the wound, they first year was rough on us all, but we settled in as a family of 5 and life just kept going. The men our 3 boys are today, is because of the role model my husband is. Just 2.5 years after we married, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a lot of men would have said, I didn’t sign up for this, not my man. He stepped up and not only worked but helped in the house, took me to doctors appointments, some 7 hours away, ran kids to practices and ball games. We married in 2004, I filed for disability in 2007, I was a RN. Took 18 months to win my disability, I lost my 401k, filed for bankruptcy, lost my great credit, he never blinked an eye. He said, we will get your credit back, it will be fine. He always drove the hand me down cars, so the kids and i had a safe and reliable car. We made it through all that, and then after 22 years at Wonder Hostess, in December 2012, the company filed for bankruptcy for their 2nd time and he lost his job, our health insurance, pension, everything he had worked all those years for. In January of 2013, he went back to college, he maintained a 4.0, was Mechatronics student of the year, while still parenting, being a wonderful husband and doing odd jobs to help put food on the table. At the end of 2015 he was hired on with First Energy Mobile Maintenance. He works a hard job, with long hours, out of town a lot. And still comes home and takes time to be with his mom, me and our first grand baby Addi. I don’t know how I got so lucky, but I did. To sum up, our 1 son that is married now, when he was dating his now wife, he had brought her home to meet us, when she left, she said, I want to marry a man that looks at me, the way Carl looks at your mom. Enough said. 💜
