Mommy got an email this morning from one of the websites she uses and she thought it was good enough to share here. It's another mom's thoughts on fathers.
They might not be the parent kids run to with scraped knees. But this doesn’t mean dads are second-class parents—or that they’re, in fact, doing any less to make the house a home. Dads are the ones kids want to please. A homerun counts for more when dad watched it. A dress is prettier when dad says it’s so. Dads are the ones who know how to put stuff together. How to fix broken toys. How to solve problems. Dads are strong. They can open jars. They can throw kids high in the air, giving them that giddy sensation that comes when one of nature’s first rules—gravity—is broken. Dads break other rules, too. They don’t require breakfast be fortified with eight essential vitamins and iron. They don’t care if socks match or if hair is brushed. But they follow the important rules. They’re loyal and protective. They expect us to tell the truth, and to do what we say when we say we’re going to do it.
It's no wonder everyone loves dads.

Amelia,
ReplyDeleteDad's are also the ones that get to cry when their baby girls are born and they get to hold them for the first time. Dad's also get to cry when they see their daughter's get married and leave their house to be taken care of by someone you are quite sure will never measure up or quite be good enough for your little girls. I am quite sure your daddy will have the same issues when you get older.
Love,
Granddaddy Y.
