My Dad

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

We don't get to see my father very much. My parents live a day's drive away and Dad is out of the country quite a bit... In an age of cell phones and e-mails, we keep in touch.

This is my Dad when he was younger. There is such a striking resemblance to my son, it's crazy.

And here is one of my favourite photos of my son and my dad... He came to visit for under 20 hours before he was off again, to deal with the world.

I'll leave you with a few more quotes about fathers :

There are three stages of a man's life: He believes in Santa Claus, he doesn't believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus. ~Author Unknown

The father who would taste the essence of his fatherhood must turn back from the plane of his experience, take with him the fruits of his journey and begin again beside his child, marching step by step over the same old road. ~Angelo Patri

A father carries pictures where his money used to be. ~Author Unknown

Happy Father's Day
