Any fool can be a Father, but it takes a real man to be a Daddy!! -Philip Whitmore Snr

"The most important thing a father can do
for his children is to love their mother."

My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising
boys." -Harmon Killebrew

It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't. -Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father. -Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Small boys become big men through the influence of big men who care about small boys. -Unknown

The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them -Confucius

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection. -Sigmund Freud

When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry. -Jewish Proverb

A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child.-Knights of Pythagoras

4 years: My Daddy can do anything!
7 years: My Dad knows a lot…a whole lot.
8 years: My father does not know quite everything.
12 years: Oh well, naturally Father does not know that either.
14 years: Oh, Father? He is hopelessly old-fashioned.
21 years: Oh, that man-he is out of date!
25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.
30 years: I must find out what Dad thinks about it.
35 years: Before we decide, we will get Dad's idea first.
50 years: What would Dad have thought about that?
60 years: My Dad knew literally everything!
65 years: I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more.
-Unknown

Happy Fathers Day all! have a great one! and, if like me you're missing your father (and father in law) - have a good one regardless.
 
At 18 I could not believe how stupid my father was...by 22 I was amazed at how much he had learned in 4 years!

Have a book on my shelf and the author - a preacher who lost his wife very suddenly (this in the 1920's) talks about heaven. He says, when we are young, heaven is like a foreign country - we know it exists but that's all we know, it's far far away and, well, foreign. But, as we get older and more people we know go to live there, we come to know more about it and realize it isn't so far at all until finally it is not a distant place at all but somewhere close and familiar because so many people we love live there.
