Working Dads
Today we honor America's 66 million fathers.
For many, it will be a morning celebration, over a hearty breakfast of (real) bacon and eggs with (white) toast and (black) coffee. And colorful ties. For others, there will be less fanfare but nevertheless be relaxing.
Regardless of how you'll celebrate Fathers Day, remember that many dads today are stationed in places like Kabul, Djubuti, Karabilah and the USS Kearsarge. Let's pray they can accomplish their mission and commemorate their day over there because they deserve it. If not, I hope they focus on their mission, their safety, and we'll worry about the steaks when they come back home.
And to my dad, who continues to be a role model today, I say thanks for being patient when he didn't want to be and for being angry when he had to be. I'm glad he pushed me to do things he couldn't/didn't experience during his own childhood -- education, computers, music, sports -- and I'll continue the tradition with my children.
Happy Fathers Day.
