Father's Day 2017

Father's Day 2017

Three of my favorite quotes about Fathers.

And this was the first time Bryce had thought specifically: this man is my father, this man and no other, and without him I would neither be nor be what I am. As long as he is here I am, in a sense and whether I prefer it that way or not, an extension of his shadow. From the book 'Horse Soldiers' by Harold Sinclair

When people ask me if Michael Sullivan was a good man, or if there was no good in him at all, I always give the same answer. I just tell them: he was my father. From the 2002 movie 'Road to Perdition'

A father is a man who works, struggles, sacrifices and prays his son will be as good a man as he meant himself to be.

I miss you Dad.

Wonderful quotes, thank you!

My dad passed away ten years and two weeks ago today. He was, without exaggeration, the greatest man I’ve ever known.

Happy Father’s Day to all of you FReeper dads, stepdads and mentors to kiddos without great men in their lives!!

Surprising is how often people on both ends of the political spectrum need to be reminded.
