And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

The Joys of Being a Parent: Pre-Recorded Dad Reads To Daughter

A viewer's comment read like this: "Thank you for posting this! A splendid reminder of the fact that it is parental love that makes our world go round."

And that is so true!  This is the reason I came up with this series, "The Joys of Being a Parent", because I wanted to capture enduring moments of parents at their best.  In the video below you will see a military dad read a bed time story to his daughter, but it is pre-recorded. 

Daddy taped it for her, so that while he was away in Iraq she could watch and listen to him read a book to her.  It's simply adorable, and I commend this guy for being such an awesome parent!

That's so sweet. I'm really starting to believe, after seeing so many people around me having their lives ultimately changed for the better after having children, that it truly is an amazing experience that anyone should be honored and blessed to be able to enjoy. Maybe one day my love. You'll never know.
