Jamie Squires is SuperDAD!

There are no words to express how I feel when I see my two-year-old son snuggled up on the couch with his daddy watching The Muppets, both belly laughing to the "Mahna Mahna" video, like it was the first time they both have seen it. The bond that my son, Pierce, and my husband, Jamie, have is undeniably strong. I have been given a gift to watch this beautiful father-son relationship blossom in front of my eyes. You can definitely say that Pierce is a daddy's boy. Jamie is the last to get a kiss good night and the first person Pierce runs to in the morning with open arms and a smile from ear to ear. Those moments are priceless.

The happiness that my husband brings to my son is not the only thing that makes him an amazing man. Jamie is a husband, father and is a teacher to 30 third graders. Jamie works endless hours after our son goes to bed and due to increased budget cuts within our school system, is expected to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. Jamie is an incredibly passionate man who doesn't realize how many lives he has touched through his teaching, great leadership, compassionate heart and the sincerity of wanting all students to succeed.

Jamie fills his students with hope and showers them with a thousand reasons to embrace all aspects of life. As I watch my son and husband walk hand in hand on a walk I feel comfort and ease knowing that Pierce has such a wonderful father figure in his life. Someone he can look up to, be proud of, learn deep passion for what he believes in and mostly, be best friends with. A father should be their son's first hero and I know my husband, Jamie, is Pierce's Superhero. I think this makes him one exceptional SuperDAD.
