My dad has been one of the most important people in my life. I feel incredibly thankful for his influence and presence in my life and I'm so glad for the special relationship we still share today.
In keeping with tradition, here are just a few of the things my dad gave me:
- his unconditional love and support
- self-confidence
- a love of storytelling and literature
- a strong work ethic
- an appreciation of humour
- many fun and memorable experiences
- family traditions
- a love of the outdoors
- a sense of compassion and empathy for others
- an interest in education
After that great example growing up, I have been fortunate to marry an amazing man who is the best imaginable father to our two children. I love his devotion to our family and the way he truly loves spending time with our boys. They both already look up to him so much and I am so happy they have such a wonderful example to follow. I can't wait to see how their relationships develop as the boys grow up.
That's so sweet! Yay for all the great dads out there. =)
