What’s a Dad?
Posted by Pat on June 15, 2025 in Uncategorized | ∞
“A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and let’s you try again.
A dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks
in silence when you get hurt.
A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
sccolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail…

Sometimes it is so difficult to be the kind of parent shared in the selection above…
- to let them grow,
- to let them try,
- to let them fail,
- to let them develop their self confidence.
And do we allow our parents to have grown, tried, failed, develop self confidence? Or do we blame them for how we’ve turned out?
Wishing all of you a thoughtful and loving Father’s Day!
