Why My Dad’s the Best


7984692236_5bfed039c4_b.jpg

Dads can have it rough. Some work and spend too few precious hours with their families while those who stay home as their partners work are seldom really fussed over. Plus, every Dad has to work on their bond with the kids who are typically closer to their Mom through pregnancy. They’re also usually portrayed as the strong, silent type, and sometimes unfairly relegated to a seat at the family sidelines.
Well, we know you better than that Dads!

You’re often the designated “fun parent,” giving piggy back rides even as your back aches, tirelessly hoisting growing kids onto your shoulders and running all day after dynamos squealing in delight. You are the default best playdate ever, whether it’s a tickle fest, playground adventure, or video game challenge. Even if the world expects you to be serious and tough, you make things fun for the kids and you’re a real softie in their hands. They know it too, so sometimes you manage to get in trouble with Mom for giving in to the little ones’ demands!

Nevertheless, you’re strong when you need to be. You know that you are still guardian and guide as the children learn to walk the straight and narrow. You dish out the tough love as well as Mom does, modeling strength and character as a father and Mom’s partner. We know that you’re the one to rely on when the kids need someone to back them up and help Mom keep the family healthy, happy, and safe.

You teach the kids what love and sacrifice can mean by example. You’re never afraid to take up a cause in your kids’ name or work long hours for your family for a comfortable present and secure future. But being exhausted from work doesn’t keep you from spending quality time with your family. You can even bravely do diaper laundry duty and willingly let your arms cramp up to cuddle sleepy babies who need to be rocked for hours.

We know you’re out there giving it all you’ve got, often relying on pictures and videos to relive precious moments you miss. It could get lonely in the Daddy trenches and if you feel invisible or underappreciated too, rest assured that we see you with our eyes and our hearts, Dads! The family is never complete without you. You’re not just bodyguard, driver, handyman, troubleshooter, occasional cook, provider of food, fun, or toys! You are more than your job, more than your designated roles, more than your titles, more than “just” Dad. You nourish minds, nurture hearts, and shelter souls in need of your example and guidance.

You are your family’s one and only Dad and you are irreplaceably the best, which is why these kids find you the coolest!
