Happy Fathers Day!
Happy Fathers Day!
What is it to be a father?
Its making heart shaped pancakes, its’ getting up early to drive the little buggers to school so that you can spend a little more time with them. Its’ buying bats, hats, uniforms, gloves and related crap for baseball, so that they can socialize. Its’ watching them grow. Its’ sending them to karate lessons for years so that someday they can kick your ass. Its’ “helping” them with science projects so that they not only succeed, but win first place! Its’ putting up with their friends who do not have a father figure of their own. It is taking them places to explore, and watching them experience new stuff. An eagle swooping down and plucking a fish from the river/stream that you are floating down is something to remember. It is seeing a beaver slap its tail, or watching a deer along the bank or the river. Being a father is a lot of work to teach/help and raise a child to become a good adult. So, you are working to make yourself obsolete! If you do it right, its’ the best thing that you can EVER do!
