Father's Day 2024
Because Dads Need Recognition Too
To all you fathers out there...
A father is the family rock and the paperweight of life - he keeps his children safe, secure, and grounded.
A father teaches his children how a good man behaves. A father teaches his children how to be a workforce asset, an equal provider, and an important contributor to the home, at his job, and to his family. A father teaches his children to be compassionate, dedicated, confident, loving, caring, and all the important things in life. A father teaches his children by example and by creative, inclusive, and sometimes - at least to his teenagers - hilarious leadership.
But first and foremost, and above it all, a father teaches his children how to be a good father, a good parent, a good partner, a good friend, and a good human being. And he does this by loving them unconditionally and ferociously and most of everything and all.
Without fathers we wouldn't be. And to be a father isn't about biology. The fathers that aren't made by blood, the fathers that are one out of two, more, or many, the fathers that do it alone, the fathers who have a child with wings, and all the other fathers and father figures out there... You count, you are valid, you are great fathers too.
And each one of us had or has a dad or a father figure that's the best dad of them all. Because fathers are great. Period.
So thank you to all the fathers and father figures out there. You are fantastic. Never doubt how needed, loved, and appreciated you are. Today we remind you of this. Today is YOUR day.
Happy Father's Day!!
