On this Father's Day, I want to celebrate my incredible sons, Terran and Kloud (Alder), and my son-in-law, Victor, who exemplify what it means to be exceptional fathers. They are loving, devoted, and fully engaged in their children's lives in every way.

All my grandchildren were born at home, and from the very beginning, Terran, Kloud, and Victor have been nurturing and loving parents. Kloud's son Zane is now grown, and Terran is bravely navigating single parenthood with his two young girls, trying to find work that will still allow quality time with his daughters.

When Forge, my grandson, was a baby, Victor stayed home from his job as an electrician to care for him, enabling Trillium to return to work. He is also a wonderful stepparent to Gaia, now grown, and Lyric.

Every time I witness how Victor and Terran interact with their children, I'm struck by their patience, communication skills, care, sense of fun, and unwavering commitment to fatherhood.

I feel immensely blessed that my grandchildren have such wonderful role models in their lives.
