I have been blessed over the last few weeks to see lots of examples of really great dads. So here, in honor of all those great men out there, are some of the pictures I’ve collected. ❤

Happy Father’s Day!

Every son quotes his father, in words and in deeds. ~Terri Guillemets

“I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection.” -Sigmund Freud

““The heart of a father is the masterpiece of nature.” –Antoine Prevost

“I talk and talk and talk, and I haven’t taught people in 50 years what my father taught by example in one week.” –Mario Cuomo

“Fathers, be good to your daughters. You are the god and the weight of her world.”- John Mayor

“Don’t wait to make your son a great man – make him a great boy.” –anon,

“They say that from the instant he lays eyes on her, a father adores his daughter. Whoever she grows up to be, she is always to him that little girl in pigtails. She makes him feel like Christmas. In exchange, he makes a secret promise not to see the awkwardness of her teenage years, the mistakes she makes or the secrets she keeps.” –Anon

To pull the metal splinter from my palm
my father recited a story in a low voice.
I watched his lovely face and not the blade.
Before the story ended, he’d removed
the iron sliver I thought I’d die from.
I can’t remember the tale,
but hear his voice still, a well
of dark water, a prayer.
And I recall his hands,
two measures of tenderness
he laid against my face

–Li Young Lee
