Fathers day is just around the corner and I would like to give a rousing applause for fathers everywhere. I respect and love my father more than I have words for. He was always there for me, to listen, to give advice, and to help me through troubled times. Along with my mother, he taught me that I could do anything I wanted to. He was the rock of the family, kind, gentle and loving. He was the role model for me, and I found that I fell in love with and married a man who was very much like my father.
Now my son is about to become a father. Little Abby is due any day now. They are waiting for the big event. I remember I waited an extra week for my son. I know as a father, he will be much like his own. He will be patient, loving and kind. He will teach his daughter as she grows that she can do anything or be anything. Hard work is the root of everything that is good and nothing great can ever be achieved without effort.
So hooray for Fathers everywhere, and may all children be blessed with wonderful fathers--fathers who have time for their children and who are willing to spend time on the ball field, the swimming pool, or any other learning environment their children wish to pursue
