What Scott did

He proposed to me, two months after we started dating, on the pool

table at the bar where we met. After a yearlong engagement, we

married on a paddleboat on the Colorado River, with all our children

in the service. It was a day to remember. But it doesn’t end there.

We have been married almost five years and our family has grown by

not one, not two, but by seven more children. We have adopted seven

more children; all of them have developmental disabilities. Two of

our children have life-threatening diseases, seven have autism. That

gives us a total of 10 children.

Scott is truly the best dad any of these children ever could have

dreamed of having. From the custom bunk beds he builds in their

rooms, to playing with them in the pool, to flying kites at the park,

he gives them everything a child could ever dream of for a dad. He is

funny and loving and is the best cook ever. Not only all of this, but

he is also the best husband. I truly don’t know where I would be

without him by my side. He is my strength when I am weak and is by my

side through everything life throws at us.

This Father’s Day and every day during the year, I want him to

know that I love him and that his kids love him. Thank you for being

a part of our lives.

Love you,

THE DAVIS DOZEN
