Sons and Daughters Giving Praise To Dads

Fatherhood CrimsonArrow writes "Here is something positive that is worth cheering about. From the Rocky Mountain News: 'My Dad Is A Hero, 6 Winning Essays For Father's Day. Awesome. Special Extraordinary. Committed. A Super Hero.'

'My dad is a hero because he does so much for me and my brother. He cooks, he drives us around, he cleans and he makes sure our clothes are clean. When my brother and I are fighting, sad, or upset, he tries to fix it. What makes him the most special is that he does all of this without the help of a wife. He does this all by himself because my mom passed away four years ago. I'm thankful to have a dad to raise me after such a tragic event.'

Read the stories of kids celebrating their hero: Dad."

Excellent article.

Fortunately, it had a button that suggested:
email this story to a friend - so I have sent it the Daibetes UK on: info@diabetes.org.uk - and, asked "Why they do not support fathers in a similar fashion ?"

My Dad's been dead 15 years, and you never stop loving or missing someone that was that close. You just learn how to go on. Mom's lived longer, and I miss and love her too.

I was blessed to have the care and guidance of both, but I was privileged to have more time with my Dad growing up than most kids. Being Farmers, I got to see him at work every day.

I wish there were more positive things we could do for Fathers and Men like decades ago, but now we have groups like the Family Violence Prevention Fund FVPF, and others in the d.v. industry that target Father's Day as a day to bash men, and ask, "what can men do to stop there violence against women." The answer to that question is, "work to prevent the FVPF from presenting such an overwhelmingly inaccurate (lying vilifying) picture of domestic violence, accusing "men" of commiting d.v., while excusing female violence.

To all the Dads out there, and all the children of Dads, have a Happy Father's Day every day.
