We wouldn’t be able to enjoy our little darlings if it wasn’t for the dads, right?

I have been so very blessed to have wonderful, wonderful men in my life.

From my grandfather, always there to share his wisdom and his wealth of common sense. He is one of the most universally admired, honorable men I have ever had the privilege of knowing.

I have a great relationship with my father, who was always there for me, whether it be coaching me in softball or driving my friends and I to the movies. And slipping me a twenty on the sly. Thanks dad!

It seems those men greatly influenced my choice of husband, because he is just as fantastic as they are. He is a wonderful, involved father that my son is lucky to have as his dad. In fact, it was my husband who taught me how to bathe our infant son, as I was afraid I would drown him. He never shirked diaper duty or staying up with the Munchkin in the wee hours of the morning. He is, and always will be, one of the best dads I’ve ever encountered.

So, to all the men out there who play that most important role of father, we salute you!
