Father's Day

This is somewhat late, but I would like to extend a Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there, especially the father of my child and the one on the way. Chris is a great dad.



To me, a great father is:

• Someone who is transparent: Not afraid to show his real self.


• One that says 'sorry' to his kids when he knows he's wrong or reacted the wrong way. 


• One that doesn't consider it babysitting when he's with the kids while mom is out. 


• Quick to give his son/daughter a hug (even a kiss!), not just a handshake or awkward side-hug 


• One who reads and plays to his children


• One who shows his integrity by saying 'please' and 'thank you' to strangers


• One who treats his kid's mom with respect and kindness


• One who is honest


• One who protects physically and emotionally


• One who builds his family up with words of encouragement


• One who recognizes his kid's strengths and challenges them to strive for more


• One who puts down the gadgets and looks his kids in the eyes


• One whose goal in life is to be his kid's hero.
