Too often we recognize the wrong people as heros, such as movie stars and sports figures that don't live a life worthy of recognition. How tragic that the true heros around us often go unnoticed.
Fatherhood doesn’t come easy. It doesn’t come with lots of thank yous for the sacrifices made. Sadly, the media and our legal system
often devalue it. It doesn’t end
when your child turns 18 and it sure doesn’t get any easier just because they
are “grown”. I am thankful to the
men who chose to stay by their families no matter what it costs them. Those that knew that their first job
was to parent and not be our best friend.
Those who chose to lead us and guide us even when they knew that our response
might be, “I hate you!” as we through a tantrum only to look back and realize
that they really had our best interest at heart. For those who provided security and discipline, and whose
strong arms could comfort our tears.
With love this Father’s Day to my Dad, my husband, and my
Father-in-Law. I love you and I
thank God for each of you every day.
