Appreciation On Father’s Day

My father taught me the importance of family, faith, being kind and charming to whoever you meet, and hard work. Besides speaking of these things, he also showed me through example. He constantly revealed his work ethic through his job, and even helped with my Boy Scout troop, using his own vacation time to join me for Summer camp. He continues to not only be there for me and my sister, but he also fully enjoys his latest assignment as a grandfather to our children. There is so much more I can write about how my dad has enriched my life, but I will wrap this up by saying that thanks to him, Father's Day is one of my favorite days of the year. I always loved my dad's pride and enthusiasm for this holiday that celebrates the joy of being a father, and I embraced the same appreciation once I become a father myself. Just like my dad does, I love celebrating this holiday with a Father's Day donut, reminding the other fathers out there to keep making a difference, and looking back and forward on the always exciting journey of parenthood.
