A Father Is...

A doctor, a hero
A mentor, a friend
A teacher who teaches
A fisherman who fishes
Someone who guides you

For some of us "a father" is a long dark tunnel with no end because we never had one and can only guess at what it means ... smile ... I can tell you've had one who cared ... smile ...
