Father's Day











































As Father's Day approaches, I have to struggle with two opposite emotions. One, so very proud and grateful to have the father I do, who through tough times and easy times, has always been a compass pointing me in the right direction in life. And the other, tremendously crushed because I will not have the chance to hear in person, I love you dad......First Father's Day after Christopher's death. Please remember me in your prayers.

Charles Wadsworth

You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.
Irish Proverb

The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
Francis Maitland Balfour


In my Father's house are many mansions.
Bible, John xiv. 2.


I once complained to my father that I didn't seem to be able to do things the same way other people did. Dad's advice? 'Margo, don't be a sheep. People hate sheep. They eat sheep.'
Margo Kaufman

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
