Today we celebrate Father's Day and the important role of fathers in the family but it is more than that. Good fathers don't just happen. Rather good fathers learn to be good fathers by modeling their fathers when they are children. As they mature to become fathers themselves they take those lessons and pass them on to their children. But good fathers wouldn't be good fathers if they just did every thing exactly as their father did. Instead they take the lessons learned from their fathers and build on them. The cycle continues from one generation of fathers to the next generation of fathers.
My husband had an excellent role model in his father who in turn had an excellent role model in his fathers. He learned strong family values based on love, respect, faith, hope, and stewardship. He learned that it was important to give back to the community to make the community stronger for families. He has in turn been an excellent role model for our kids and now our grandkids. He doesn't need a special day to know how cherished he is as a father because the kids and grandkids show him every chance they get. On this special day though we'll show you just a little bit more that you are an excellent father and Grandpa (aka Pappa).
