Happy Father's Day


To all those men who choose to be fathers - to take on that responsibility - those joys, frustrations, fun and befuddlement - this day is for you! 

Maybe you have chosen the biological route to fatherhood and take that seriously. Maybe you have chosen to be a Big Brother - a Scout master - a teacher of science or math or fencing to a bunch of teenagers; maybe you toss the ball with the kid down the street whose father was killed in Iraq - or just isn't around - or abused him and had to leave; maybe you sponsor the youth group in your church. Whatever ever your chosen role as "father", today is your day ~ and all of us who have experienced someone one like you in our lives are Very Grateful for your participation in the lives of others. 

Yesterday I went to a 7-year-old birthday party and watched two dads and an uncle be absolutely and totally present to the next generation. Dads by any title are Great! Enjoy your day! ~ with blessings
