Happy FATHERS' DAY

The first time I came across this website, I was incredibly touched. The photographs are gorgeous; the words of the writer are even more so. Please look at this when you have time to truly reflect, to think upon your own life, and upon that of your father.



There are so many different kinds of dads: Good ones, bad ones, quiet ones, loud ones, silly ones, serious ones, athletic ones, bookish ones, old ones, young ones, ones that leave, ones that stick around, ones that are alcoholics, ones that are in prison, ones that attend every birthday party and softball game their children ever have, ones that plan every birthday party their children ever have, ones that coach every softball game their children ever play, ones that never make it to the softball games because they are too busy working, ones that never make it to any softball games because they live states away, ones that never make it to any softball games because they are serving our country overseas, ones that are unemployed, ones that are homeless. The list could continue.

But a dad is a dad.

And a dad is to be cherished... No matter what stage of life he is in,
no matter what physical condition he is in, and no matter what state of mind he is in.

"Honor your father and mother- which is the first commandment with a promise-"
Ephesians 6:2
