I think of my dad immediately when I think of Father's Day and I should. I only have one father and I am so lucky to have had him in my life. But this morning, out of the blue, I thought about my children's father! And he was a good father to his children! He disciplined them and he took care of them and he provided for them. He did not have a great role model for fathering since his own father died when he was young but he learned instinctively what you should do to raise children.
He taught them things I could not have ever taught them:
Love for sports, how to ride a bicycle, how to drive a car, how to go to museum after museum, how to love your grandparents and how to show kindness to people. He also taught how to camp out in a camper, how to drive across the US without much money and how to enjoy being a family. These were wonderful lessons and I thank him for being a good father. And yes, Mark, you can tell him that I said that!
Happy Father's Day to all!
