You are shaping and molding six precious lives, and while I know you feel like you are constantly falling short, you aren't. You do so much right. The fact you care that you may be falling short is further proof of the amazing heart that you have for your babies. So here is the kind of father I see when I look at you:
One who is not afraid of the dirty work, even if you hate it.
One who spoils them every time you think I am not looking.
One who creates elaborate routines with them that they love and cherish.
One who strives to nourish their bodies with healthy food.
More importantly, one who strives to nourish their souls.
One who includes them in hobbies, even if you know it drives me crazy (WOT anybody?).
One who loves to teach.
One who protects.
One who let's them experience life outside a bubble.
One who understands that even when it hurts your heart, discipline is important.
One who tries to be the best he can be, and asks for help when he doesn't know what to do.
One who is willing to sacrifice personal needs for their needs.
I could go on indefinitely. You are an amazing dad, and I hope today you understand how important you are to these kids, and how important you are to me. I hope you realize even when you feel like a failure, they look at you with love and see the Daddy that plays with them, puts medicine on their owies, snuggles them, cheers them on, and lifts them up when they are down. You are their superhero. We all love you. Happy Father's Day.
