This morning my wife got my daughter as I still lay half-asleep in bed and as they approached me my adorable 25-month-old says “Happy Father’s Day, Daddie!” every word said with perfect enunciation. It nearly brought tears to my eyes and has made this Father’s Day a perfect day so far.
I wish all my fellow Fathers out there a very happy Father’s Day…Especially all the Stay-At-Homes! It takes a lot more to be a good Dad then to work for a living to provide for your family. I’m not saying I’m special because I’m the one home raising, teaching and playing with my daughter but I am light-years away from my own father who was a horrible example of a good father in every aspect of the role. Anyone could be a father but it takes a lot of love, patience and dedication to be a good Dad. I learned that at an early age and I’m proud to say I’m learning from those bad examples.

You surely deserved the greeting from Maddie Father’s Day Morning. You are such a wonderful father & example to her & you truly deserve the love & attention she gives you. I, as your Mom, are so proud of you & your role in your daughter’s life. You will always be rewarded with everything she does as she grows into a young woman. I look back on your childhood with such happy memories & can honestly say how proud I am of you as a man, husband & dad. All the work, worry, & sacrifice is very much worth it. Love you xoxoxoxox
