A good father is… ...one who knows that children have only one love language – time; …one who daughters want to marry, and sons want to emulate; …one you know will protect you and defend you; …one who provides everything you need (but not necessarily everything you want); …one who is brave when you are scared; …one who races you to the emergency room; …one who teaches you how to treat a woman, and what you should expect from a man; …one who cherished your mother; …one who is stronger, and taller, than you (at least, at first); …one who taught you how to swim, how to ride a bike, how to throw a ball, how to open a door for a woman, how to… you get it; …one who spanked you when you deserved it, and you’re glad he did (but you never saw how much it broke his heart); …one who taught you how to drive; …one who set curfews; …one who didn’t make a big deal of the things you thought he would, but did of the things that you know, now, mattered; …one who either stayed up late, or got up early… just to see you off; …one who answered your questions… one after another after another after another; …one who said, “Oh, come on Mom, let ‘em do it”; …one who finally said “okay” to the puppy; …one who took you out “trick or treating”; …one who drove you to your first day at school, your first day at college, and your first day at…; …one who went with you to get your ears pierced (whether daughter... or son); …one who let them braid his hair; …one you could tell, “I kissed her!”; …one who took you on trips; …one who talked to you about that boy (or that girl)… …one who paid the ticket; …one who was a wreck walking you down the aisle, or bursting with pride waiting by your side at the altar for your bride; …one who introduced you to God; …one who, most of all, loved you so much he would have laid down his life for yours in a heartbeat. And still would. Happy Father’s Day.
