This month, we asked a few of our kids—and some grown-ups too—to share something special about their dads. These little quotes remind us just how important a father’s voice and presence can be.
"I love my dad because he lets me go to school." - Elijah
"When I break something my dad gets me a new one when I text him." - Lucas
"One of my favorite things about my dad is how he sings and dances in the grocery store. He is also very brave and would do anything for his family." - Jessica
"I want my dad to be strong! My dad takes me on a trip." - Milo
"When I think about my dad, the first word that comes to mind is 'selfless.' Throughout my life, he has dedicated the majority of his time and energy to making sure we had everything we needed. To me, he is exactly what a dad should be. My dad has always been my favorite superhero! - Jamie
"Always be kind to your dad. Dad helps you with your homework sometimes." - Noah
"I have so many memories - like when I almost took off his foot with a shotgun when we were squirrel hunting together, or the many building projects we've done together, like most recently when we built Aubree's bed frame. He always put God first, then family, then church duties. He fulfilled the roles of protector, provider, priest, and prophet in our home." - Spencer
"Dad’s are good at working." - Mallory
"My dad is such a hard worker. At one time he took on three jobs to support our family. His work ethic is admirable." - Rebecca
"He’s a really good builder. Daddy lets me play on my ipad" - Aubree
"He's a good father. I remember when I was little we would go down to Florida and we would go to a good friend of his and they would talk for hours and I would sit on his lap and fall asleep 'cause they would talk for so long. Good memories never fade away! - Jasmine
"I love that he makes delicious food. When I’m sick he takes good care of me." - Maryana
"My dad is very loving and is always there for me. He makes good steak!" - Kaitlyn
"My dad was a great listener. I could talk to him about anything, and I could always count on him to attempt to understand before he responded." - Josh
"A good dad should work." - Diamond
"My daddy was so special. He told us he loved us and gave us hugs all the time, but also played with us regularly, told us bedtime stories at night, sang to us, read the Word of God, and prayed with us. He didn't make a lot of money, but what he did was more precious than gold!" - Sonja
"Dad’s should be nice. My dad lets me ride the church van." - Jackson
"I like how my dad is always there for me when I need him, and how he is caring." - Faith
"A favorite memory about my dad is when he would take each of us girls out to spend time with us, individually." -Aleaha
"My dad is my biggest fan and greatest encourager (along with my husband). His positivity has meant a lot to me throughout my life. I consider myself blessed." - Misty
"My dad makes the best lattes and gives good snuggles. I admire his intellect, love to listen to his ideas, and I like that he shares what he learns with me." - Ashlene
