As Fathers Day arrives and passes, I just wanted to share a thought with all you Dads out there. I have been doing this for 40 years and I would like to convey what I have experienced with many Dad's who have shared their experiences with me in their most personal times of adjustment.
No matter what your situation is with your children at the present time, or what it was in the past or the future, remember one thing. Your Children are thinking of you, you are their Dad, and always will be. No matter how grave or hopeless the situation may appear now, & no matter what kind of a relationship you may have with your children now, believe me,deep down, your children love you and need you and want you. No matter what they have been told about you, they hold on to the concept of your love for them. Keep in contact, the best way you know how. Don't ever give up.
So, this Father's day, whether you are with your children or not, all you caring Dads out there deserve a big hug from your kids. Weather you hear these words on Fathers Day this year or not, If you have not heard them already, I know you your children are thinking them. The words below are for all you wonderful Dads on Fathers Day & every day, from your kids,
because you deserve it.
"I LOVE YOU DAD :)"

DON'T QUIT
Unknown Author
When the road your trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but don’t you quit! Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out, Don’t give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow, Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man Often the struggler has given up, when he might have captured the victor’s cup, And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown, Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick with the fight when you’re hardest hit, It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit!
LOVE DAD Unknown Author
Though we're not together and we miss the times we had, You are still my special kid and I am still your Dad...And I love you just as always, Maybe even more. Call me any time you need me,That's what Dads are for !
