Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the young and
old of men.

Fathers have changed a lot since I had a
dad. My Dad was a great dad for the times.
And I was a Daddy's girl.

But fathers of today... at least 85% or more
are greatly involved with their children. From
just taking care of them, to changing diapers,
to being stay at home dads. I find this wonderful.

Because my father's generation and my husband's
generation, that was not true at all. They figured for
the most part, that if they were hard workers, paid
for everything the family needed, was sitting at the
table each night... that was a good father. And
maybe, an occasional trip.

But I am glad to see that is no longer true. Dad's
are very much involved. It is not unusual to see
a dad with kids at the store, even with a stroller.

Unfortunately, Dad's get a bad press because the
one's who get in the press are low life scum. The
one's who beat their children, or sexual abuse.

But for every one of them, there are 10 great ones
out there, that Father's day is the only day they
seem to get the credit they so richly deserve.

The father who go the extra mile. The fathers who
are left behind to raise the children, left behind by
wives of cancer or some other death. And these
men step up to the plate very majorly. Not handing
off to grandmother's and aunt's like the ones of the
past. It was rare that the father kept the kids.

So Happy Father's Day to the fathers who stayed
for the long haul. The faithfully man who is both
mom and dad. The man who loves his wife and
children more than his job. And doesn't mind one
bit doing his fair share of the raising of the kids.
And the step dad, that you can't tell is a step dad.

Happy Father's Day, guy!!!
