Hawn responded saying, \u201cHoney I showed this to daddy. Here\u2019s his message\u2026\u201d Russell\u2019s response followed, saying, \u201cBirdie, mommy just showed me this picture, this is a perfect Father\u2019s Day present. I\u2019ve never seen it before. Wow\u2026it\u2019s a killer. Lotta water under the bridge\u2026it\u2019s kinda hard to see it though cause all the water seems to somehow have found its way into my eyes\u2026thanks for making me the luckiest father in the world sweetheart. I love you, Pa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both Hudson and her brother, Oliver Hudson, 45, have been known to lovingly speak about their \u201cpa,\u201d with Oliver discussing some of his teenage antics that led to him being arrested for late-night misuses of a paintball gun. \u201cHe was not a happy dad,\u201d Hudson recalled of Russell\u2019s reaction in <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/oliver-hudson-says-kurt-russell-203950946.html\">an interview<\/a> earlier this year. Despite the difficulties that come from not really knowing their biological father, both actors have always praised Russell\u2019s impact on their lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever missed a school play, a soccer game, a hockey game, a dance recital and the list goes on and on. No matter what he was doing in his busy life, he always showed up. Not because he had to but because there was no other place on earth he would rather be than with his family. We felt the purity of that our whole childhood and my gratitude for his love is immeasurable,\u201d Kate wrote in 2015 tribute for Russell\u2019s birthday. Her brother responded with similar sentiments, saying, \u201cHappy birthday to the greatest dad in Santa Monica&#8230;I love you more than you realize\u2026 Before you came into my life, I was only potential and you made me, forced me, to find my confidence, my independence and strive for the elusive fearlessness that you so matter of factly possess&#8230;I look up to you and always will&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With Russell\u2019s affectionate response, it seems the feelings are mutual in this family.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cecilia Buchanan is first a follower of Christ, wife to her wonderful husband, and blessed mother of three beautiful girls.
