A father gives advice
A father nourishes the body
and the soul
A father encourages
A father reads
A father lends a hand
A father plays
A father offers support
A father sticks close by your side
A father makes memories
A father teaches
A father laughs
A father is gallant
A father proves age is just a number
A father reaches out
A father hangs on tight
A father helps you aim high
A father shows pride
A father sets a good example to follow
A father relaxes
A father listens
A father works
A father helps out
A father loves
A father dances
A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty.

Happy Father's Day to all of you fathers.
I'm traveling today, making a one day trip to spend Father's Day with my Daddy, so this was a repost from last year featuring my three favorite fathers - my sweet Daddy, my remarkable father-in-law and my wonderful husband Tom, father of my children.
I'm blessed to still have all three in my life.
For those of you who can no longer wish your daddy "Happy Father's Day" in person, I'll give mine extra hugs and whisper a prayer for you and yours.
I'll also send you over to read Jennifer's beautiful words on love and fatherhood and imperfection at Ripplespeak... "there you are... i see you."
