It is my first official Father's Day! I got a new disc golf bag, several disc, a picture of Charlie holding the letters D-A-D and a wonderful card. Charlie made an attempt to sign his name on the card which was absolutely adorable. He woke me up this morning by head butting me as usual. I was able to spend a few minutes with him before heading off to work.
Charlie may not understand the meaning of Father's Day yet, but I do. It is something that I have waited for, for a long time. I am so proud to be a father to such a wonderful little boy. I can't wait to teach him how to fish, hunt, play sports and support his dreams and goals. He makes everyday the best day of my life. I can have the worst day ever until I see his huge smile and hear his giggle.
I write a lot about mother's and the role that they play in our life, but fathers have a big role too. They teach us about being men. They teach us valuable skills about getting through life as a better person. They give us things that Mom won't let us have and let us attempt the crazy dangerous stunts that moms cringe thinking about. They help us build huge ramps for our bicycles, they protect us when we are scared and fix our toys when they are broken.
Fathers are heros. We look up to them, want to be them and we mimick everything that they do. We say what they say (sometimes not a good thing if they are working on something that is not going well). Fathers play catch with us, rub dirt on our knees when we skin them up and teach us to be tough.
Most fathers will even play tea party with their little girl. They will judge their boyfriends and freak out at the first sight of them holding hands. I hope to have a daughter in the future, but I dread the day that she begins to be into boys. I feel sorry for any of my future daughters future boyfriends. For now I will worry about teaching my little boy to become a man.
Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers out there and to the future fathers.
