This isn’t about getting rich online. It is just about being rich with love from your sons and daughters.

You spend years of time and energy in raising your children. There are good times, and bad. But, every day you love your children and get it back in many ways. On Father’s Day, they go out of their way to make you feel special. In our busy lives, it is difficult to find the time to just enjoy each other. Today is the day to do just that.

It is also a time to reminisce about all the great times you’ve had. One of my best memories is when I met my daughter. I was stationed in Germany and my wife was too far along to fly there with me. So, I flew back to the states when she went into labor. My daughter was a day old when I got back. I remember when I first held her. I was shaking and nearly in tears. It was truly the happiest day of my life. I will never forget that feeling of joy.

This year, I got some wonderful gifts, and got to spend some quality time with my daughter. We both went to visit my dad for the weekend. Three generations of love and memories coming together for this special time.

This Father’s Day, reflect on the joys of fatherhood. It doesn’t matter if you are a father by biology, marriage, or adoption, we still feel the love.

Tell me about your favorite memories of your children, or your father. Don’t keep it to yourself, spread the joy.

Happy Fathers’ Day
