Celebrate Dads


"Kids need fewer critics and more models."
—Thomas S. Monson



"Nobody can do for little children what a loving father can do.
He sprinkles stardust over their lives."
—Alex Haley



"You don't have to worry about what a child will be tomorrow,
if you remember he is someone today."
—Stacia Tauscher



"The word no carries a lot more meaning
when spoken by a father who also knows how to say yes."
—Joyce Maynard



"Teaching his children is the mark of a civilized man."
—J. Ganz Cooney



"My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it."
—Clarence Kelland


"Fathers create the sunshine of childhood."
—Chris Morgen

Definition of a successful father: a man willing to make substantial, long-term sacrifices of his time, money and personal fulfillment and dedicate his efforts to rearing the next generation.

These seven fathers are my heroes.

Awesome photos! I love that fathers today are so involved with their kids. That was seldom the case when I was growing up. I had a lovely father, but I remember taking a day trip with him. I agonized for days before the trip because I didn't know what to say to him.
