On Being Dad

Today is probably the nicest Father's Day I've experienced. It was simple, but everyone made it a point to tell me why they think I'm a good father.

It's not that I'm perfect. It's that I try and stay committed. I get the important things taken care of, even though I could do better with a lot of things.

My family really came across looking like a wonderful gift today.

Some days . . . well, I just hang in there.

But, today (and yesterday) made all that hanging in there so worth it.

I want to do better now. I want to try and become the best Dad that I can be. They deserve at least that much.
