Every year my Daddy complains that fathers never get the kind of attention on Father’s day that moms get on Mother’s day. I usually laugh at him. Because I spoil him on Father’s day. He’s gotten rings, video cameras, DVD players, taken out to his favorite restaurants, gift certificates, massages, mp3 players, etc. I would usually respond like, “Whatchutalkinbout Daddy?”
So let me do something for my father today that I have never done before. Write an online tribute!
Dad, you are truly a man like no other. A role model for your son, a faithful husband to my mother. You ensure that our family supports one another. You are a hard working man, and a proud black brother.
Your deeply rooted faith makes you a man who can not break. There’s no way to clearly state how much that I appreciate the things you do, the stuff you take, all just for your family’s sake. A great example – you do make.
You stay strong and optimistic no matter what is thrown your way. You kiss freely, you hug tightly, you laugh aloud and you play. You say you miss me, that you love me and for me you say you pray. I don’t pray so often, but I’m grateful for you every day.
You’re the one who always tells me “You can do it. Yes you can”. You are the very standard I uphold to every man. Your generosity is absolutely greater than anyone I know. And I know no greater man.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.
