As what Ty Howard once said, “A real dad is not perfect! Yet he’s present, reliable, active, caring, supportive, fair, comforting, a great teacher, a positive example of a man, fun in his own quirky way, and never afraid to show love to his children and family.” Our fathers have loved and cared for us since birth, and a day should never go by wherein we don’t express our gratitude for them.
