The above quote is true. One Sunday afternoon as I was driving home after picking up my sister from a friend's house in our brand-new Ford Fairlane, another car filled with teenagers, ran a stop sign. When my father arrived on the scene, my sisters and I were sitting on the neighbor's lawn crying, my father said, “Why are you crying? Cars can be fixed! I will never forget the gratitude I felt for my Father.
In this picture, my husband is holding our youngest child on his lap at a Harlen Globetrotters basketball game. In an unguarded moment, our daughter threw her bottle onto the gym floor. Quickly a Harlen player picked it up and handed it to my husband. We laughed at it later but it was a Fatherhood moment. I cherish the picture I took of him holding our daughter.
“Fathering makes a man, whatever his standing in the eyes of the world, feel strong and good and important just as he makes his child feel loved and valued.” -Frank Pitman[1]
