Fathers Day. To all of the fathers out there that have made a positive influence, thank you. Unfortunately, this is not the case for everyone, but my father has been one of the most influential persons in my life. I see it more now than ever . . . everyday I become more of the man that my father is. I think like him and have a general overview of life just as he does each day. If you told me that . . . lets say when I was a teen, I would have laughed in your face. Now that I have grown up, been "on my own" for a bit and seen the real world, I saw that my father is very wise and worthy of modeling my life after. I have always respected my father, but I do more today than I have every done before. Thank you, Daddy for everything. It is much appreciated.

On the flip side, I do feel as though those who have not had a father figure in their lives is missing a blessing. I know there is not much the child can do about it, but if you are one of these fathers, I would encourage you to patch things up with your son and/or daughter. The child would covet nothing more than to hear from you or just talk with you on your day.
