"Happy Father's Day"

How strong you are Dad! When I was little, you put me on your shoulders so I could feel as tall as you. When the top to the pickle or jelly jar was stuck, I always knew you could get it off even if you had to hit the bottom of the jar a few times. Dad your endurance is to be envied. I always wondered how you could work a twelve-hour shift, come home and fire up the barbeque pit, and cut the grass at the same time. You would not sit down until it was finished, but I remember you saying, “Son always take care of business, this is business.” Dad you provided like no other. I remember those long hours you worked to ensure that we had what we needed and some of what we wanted. You went without sometimes because you loved me and it was important to you that your children’s needs were not neglected. Daddy, thank you for caring. I remember when you would shower and change clothes at work, grab something to eat on the run, and go directly to my sporting events. Rain, sleet, or snow I could look into the crowd and find you cheering because you were always there!
These are memories I have about my wonderful Father and I am sure many of you reading this share some of the same sentiments. So here is a great big HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all the father’s out there; do not forget that you are indispensible! Your presence is enormous to your children because they need your masculine touch to be a complete functional adult. Dads, remember you are Superman to your children and they believe you can do anything. Fatherhood is difficult because the expectations are enormous, the criticism is constant, and the pressure to take care of the family is never ending; however, the rewards are priceless! Keep pushing Fathers and keep up the good work. You are Appreciated!
