Happy Father’s Day!
Dads sometimes get a bum rap as simple bread winners who occasionally are called upon to wield a hammer to hang a picture. They play ball (or, more likely, video games) with the kids, and leave the heavy lifting of child rearing and such to the moms.
But fathers are, of course, so much more.
They teach us about the wisdom of consideration, courage and honor. They know it is better to command respect than fear, to cultivate friendships rather than enemies, and to find something you love to do, and then build your career around it. Perhaps they aren’t always as “involved” in things as moms seem to be, but they so often seem to provide the rock of stability in a family that is often under-appreciated.

John has beautifly stated the essence of being a father!
Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there and to the dads of those dads.
I never knew my father, so Father’s Day has no meaning for me.
Fathers also deserve to be given a special day of their own. Although some don’t care, but the essence of being a father is well “acclaimed” during fathers day.
