Today you turn 3 years old. I am already so proud to be your father. You have the perfect blend of strength and compassion. I pray that remains in you. I will do everything in my power to foster that trait. I will try my hardest to model Christ in front of you so that you learn to love Jesus with all your heart. I will try to show you how to treat a woman so that you will grow to be the husband that your future wife deserves. I will try to show you how to pray because it will guide you throughout your life. I will try to show you how to throw a football, catch a baseball and strike a golfball…sorry you are on your own when it comes to basketball. I will teach you how to cook on a grill because that is the mans job. I will teach you how to drive a car because mom just won’t understand. I will teach you to appreciate great movies and music and hot wings. But most of all I will try to be a better dad because the cycle of distant fathers ends with me. I love you son. I love being your dad. Happy Birthday.
To my son…on his birthday.
