Happy Father's Day

When we were children, he played half a part in growing. He was always sure of himself, forever knowing that if he worked hard, and devoted himself for us, he would be sure to provide a life that’s fabulous. There’s one Sunday in June that to all of us is dear. However, we should honor him every day this year. The man may be a lifesaver as a physician, or hold any other quite important position. He may be in government as a politician, or keeping all records straight as a statistician. Whatever may be his life’s goal, or his vocation, we’re sure to owe him great amounts of admiration. He may negotiate until a deal has been struck. He is a Teamster’s Union member driving a truck, or in a Chinese restaurant cooking Peking Duck. To have him for a father, we have all been in luck. Whatever he does or accomplishes in living, he has been a great father, and he keeps on giving. So if it applies to you men, here is what I’ll say: I wish all of you the happiest of Father’s Day.
