When I first met you I thought you were just some cute guy with sparkling blue eyes and a great sense of humour.
I never knew back in those early days of dating or even in our first few years of marriage what type of father you would be.
And then one day it happened and that’s when I truly understood.
I understood that anyone can be a father to a child but that it takes a very special kind of man to become a dad.
A dad is someone who is full of unconditional love for his children.
A dad shows up.
A dad goes above and beyond.
A dad forms healthy, nurturing relationships with his kids.
A dad takes his kids to the petting zoo, sits in the front row of their dance recitals and ties up their skates (and goalie pads).
A dad never stops teaching his children.
A dad listens. Asks how their day was.
A dad admits his mistakes and apologizes when he’s wrong.
A dad provides a sense of comfort, laughter, emotional support, guidance and connection no matter their child’s age.
You belong to a very elite group Rich and you are the true definition of a ‘Dad’. You are an amazing Dad and don’t ever stop believing it.
We love you to the moon and back, forever and a day.
Happy Dad’s Day to you and to all the other amazing dads celebrating today or being remembered today for their awesomeness.
