"The Sacred Title of father...

is shared with the Almighty."



" A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help his child."


"A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty."


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


"Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father."


"My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys.""



God took the strength of a mountain, the majesty of a tree,
the warmth of a summer sun, the calm of a quiet see.
The generous soul of nature, the comforting arm of night,
the wisdom of the ages, the power of the eagle's flight.
The joy of a morning in spring, the faith of a mustard seed,
the patience of eternity, the depth of a family need.
Then God combined these qualities and when there was nothing
more to add. He knew his masterpiece was complete, And so
He called it....Dad.


Happy Fathers Day to my 3 most favorite men. Dad, Regi, and most of all the daddy to my little ones. Love you all so much and am so grateful to have you in my life. I am amazed by you all every day. I could not do what you do. The pressures and responsibility of rearing a family, it is a heavy burden you carry. However, you carry it so well. It doesn't go unnoticed. Love you Dad and Regi....and honey, thanks for being the absolute best father to our children. You are the foundation that this little family is built on . Happy Fathers Day!!

Oh Ter I love each and every one of these quotes. I particuarly think of Thiago when reading the one of children always being in his arms. I have never seen an uncle who is quite as loved as Thiago is. Lance pretty much puts him right next to Eric on the dad pedistool?, he is the greatest. Thanks Theo for always being a father to my kids as well. Happy Father's Day hope you have a good one.
