I hope all of the dads out there had a great Fathers Day on Sunday. I’m just an uncle and not a daddy yet. My day started off with a couple of great movies I watched on the Movie Channel. One was called Bad Company and it was a movie from 1972; which was the same year I was born. I know most men born in this year already have their own families and lots of kids running around. So the men my age are mostly dads and I am an exception to the rule. The other movie was called Scorched and it was about a bank in the desert and how several employees all working at that bank robbed it at the same time. It was pretty funny and a little silly, but still a good Sunday morning movie. The afternoon on Fathers Day called for a little baseball, as I watched my Atlanta Braves finish off a 3 game sweep of the Kansas City Royals. After that, I came to the computer and spent most of the evening doing my computer stuff. I enjoyed my day today and I hope all of the fathers out there enjoyed their day too.
I know it takes a special ingredient to be a good dad. A lot of kids out there from the very young to the very old really appreciate what their dads do every day for them. Most of us don’t know what our dad’s felt like when they found out we were going to be born one day soon. I believe all the really good dads were excited about the news, when they found out they were going to be a father. I could see them handing out cigars at the hospitals on our delivery day and they probably sent a lot of baby announcements after we were born. I know this sounds like a mom’s job, but some dads probably let mom rest and would send out the announcements for her. Just like that special Sunday we have for our moms on Mothers Day, I think the Sunday for dads on Fathers Day is just as important. Cheers to all of the great dads out there!
For those who have children and haven’t been a dad since their kids were born yet. Still have time to play the role of dad and you will want to do this as soon as you can, so you can fulfill your duties as the man of the house or just for the person we know as daddy. Thanks men!
