Dads Are.....

When you are small, Dad should be your superhero who gives aeroplane spins and piggy back rides on demand

When you are bigger, Dad should be your playmate who gives you fodder for creative games and silly songs.

During this time, Dad should be the teacher who gives discipline and guidance, even when you don't want it.

As you approach your puberty, Dad should be the one to teach you to care for the ladies and fend for yourself if you're a guy.

Going through teenage years, Dad should be there to help cope with the unfairness of life and uncertainties of the future.

At this time, Dad should be a mentor who will offer a good role model to look up to.

Reaching adulthood, Dad should be there for counsel and advice when asked, and even when not asked.

Getting into a relationship? Dad should be there to help spot the pitfalls ahead, and to encourage the joys that will come.

Having children? Dad should be there to start the silly cycle all over again, albeit slower and more indulgently.

That's my Dad. And it's his birthday today.

Happy Birthday, my all round DiSC Dad.
