Thank you, Pat, for giving credit where credit is due. We often hear about the deadbeats - it's gratifying to read about the others who are making a good difference in this world.

what a wonderful take and I stopped while I was reading this and thought of my Sons. They are both much better parents than their Dad was/is...You have made me feel really good about that. Thank you Love.

It is interesting reading what your grandchildren think.

Pat

It is notoriously difficult for children to really know their parents, even under the best of circumstances...

You can be proud Pat . Not many seem to make the grade at times.

Just when it seems all the stories are sad and dire,

the ones that don't make headlines find a voice, and reassure us that there are kids and parents who are making the world a place of joy, who are peopling the world with positive attitudes and the ability to give and teach love.

What a wonderful post.  I didn't read the one you deleted, so I can't compare the two, but this one has given credit (and love and gratefulness) where credit if due.  That is what Fathers Day is all about.  You did good.
