How to be a good dad

Give… hugs, time, piggyback rides, your ice cream cone, the warm spot in the bed…

Kneel… to pray, to talk,to search for lost lovies under the bed…

Read… books, minds, moods, the text on tractor trailers every time you’re on the highway…

Say… I love you, I’m sorry, You’re the best, Way to go, Let’s do this together, You can do it…

Listen… to their stories, to the sound of them sleeping, to their silence, to their singing…

Build… tunnels, towers, trust, relationships…

A big thank you to my father and to my husband, and to his father, who, as dads, have done all these things and more.
