For the dads

Thank you.

Thank you for showing up.

Thank you for working hard.

Thank you for the early mornings and the late nights.

Thank you for loving your kids the best way you know how.

Thank you for driving your kids around even if they sometimes drive you crazy.

Thank you for all the million little things you do without even thinking about it.

You don't do it for the cards.

You don't do it for the praise.

You don't do it for the thanks.

But thank you all the same.

For all the dads with scribbled drawings, and photos from dance recitals or baseball teams on your fridge...

Thank you.

God bless you and your family.

Keep up the good work!

P.S. For everyone else...

I don't know if your dad is around or not.

I don't know if your dad is a tool or your best friend.

Even the best families are messy.

But I do know this.

When my kids say "Thank you, Dad" or "I love you, Daddy" it chases the darkest cloud from the sky.

Even the toughest dads want to be loved and appreciated.
