Father's Day

Restaurateurs would comment that Father's day does not bring in the same amount of customers that Mother's day does. There's more gaga over Mother's day that one would conclude that fathers are not being given due recognition. I know a lot of modern day dads who are very active in child rearing. They would not only work hard for their family but also be relied on to take care of their kids. Gone are the days when fathers are just confined to bringing in the bacon. They not only bring home the bacon.... they also cook it.

My children are very lucky to have a dad who is kind and patient. One who do not shun away from responsibilities, no matter how big or small. One who went astray for a moment but quickly regained the right path. And in rightly doing so, he not only earned the deep affection and love of his kids but also their trust.

I am very proud of my children's father. Not only does he provide well for our children but he is someone who goofs around with his kids, wrestles with them, hugs them, covers their books and notebooks, fetches and takes them to school when available and disciplines them if needed.

Looking in the eyes of my children, I know that their fondness for their Dad is something they will bring with them as they grow up.

Happy Father's Day, Jon!
