Being a father is Knowing your life has changed forever when you hold your first child in your arms
A life long lesson in developing patience and understanding.
Feeling special every time you get a hug.
Developing a love for all those activities and sports that you thought you didn't like.
Being expected to have the right answer for everything.
And on those times you have the right answer, being told that you are wrong.
Having a reason to buy the toys you really like (for your child of course).
Conflict in not always knowing when to console their hurts and when to encourage them to get up and keep going as overcoming hurts are a part of life.
Treasuring the beauty of a handprint in clay or a scribbled picture.
Taking time to walk where a child wants to go and doing what they want to do.
Losing sleep, changing diapers and being cheerful about it.
Nurturing them when they are sick no matter how old they are. Being especially happy when they awake you in the middle of the night with ""Dad, I''m sick -- happy that they come to you even if you are totally exhausted.
Working hard to teach them about love and God through your actions but always feeling you fell a little bit short.
Knowing that each of your children are the most beautiful, talented and smartest ever.
Going to your Heavenly Father when you are overwhelmed and frustrated.
Wanting them to be better than you.
Knowing that no one is good enough for your daughters and hoping your sons are smart enough to marry above themselves.
Learning to love at its finest.
A peach of a job and something to celebrate Every day is Happy Fathers Day.
