To all the fathers, have a great day. Today we celebrate that amazing gift of being a Father. A gift of being special to children whatever age! My father is amazing, celebrating his 90th year he is a man who has deep faith, strong in mind, forever generous with love and passionate about gardening and food. He continues to show me that the simple things in life are most important. See these and you will be better prepared for the harder things in life. The greatest gift of all for fathers is to spend time with people and especially family. So on this day, all fathers and families, have a terrific father’s day.
