Here's a poem, which is for ALL our Dads.... (Author unknown.)

FATHER

4 years: My daddy can do anything.
7 years: My daddy knows a lot, a whole lot.
8 years: My father doesn't quite know everything.
12 years: Oh well, naturally Father doesn't know everything.
14 years: Father? Hopelessly old fashioned.
21 years: Oh that man is out of date. What did you expect?
25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.
30 yers: Must find out what Dad thinks about it.
35 years: A little patience, let's get Dad's meaning first.
50 years: What would Dad have thought about it?
60 years: My dad knew literally everything.
65 years: I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more.

So let your Dad know you're thinking of him today, and every day.... He'll appreciate it!

P.S. My Dad specifically is the most honest guy I know. And not only that, he's had a bug for world travel, ever since he was reading wide-eyed as a kid about various countries in the encyclopedia he found in the one-room schoolhouse he went to, in rural Michigan. As a result, while I was growing up, we lived in some exotic places, like Tanzania (in East Africa) and Indonesia, and we ended up living in Australia. What a wonderful childhood! I owe a lot to my Dad.... Thanks!
