Today is a day to honour all dads everywhere for a job well done.  A dad is something more than a mere sperm donor.  A Dad is someone who takes the time day in, and day out to spend time with their children, to really care what is happening in their lives, to make time for the little quality moments, and to help out their beloved wife from time to time.

I see my wonderful husband everyday making such an effort.  I must admit that I probably don’t tell him as often as I should what a great father he is.  However, he does know it I am sure since both my girls are Daddy’s girls and always call for their “Dada”. Yes, I am chop liver.

So, for the countless soccer games, T-ball games, diaper changes, temper tantrum diffusing episodes, time-out sessions, cleaning up the kitchen, doing arts & crafts, and playing cars or dolls —– THANKYOU.  For without you, where would us mom’s be?

Below is a poem which I thought fitting to honour Dads everywhere.  We love you!!!!

What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it … Dad

Treat your husband or father to a special day.  Either a day of golf, sleeping in, Sunday Brunch, or just a hug.  They deserve it.
