First of all, I would like to wish my father and all the fathers out there a Happy Father's Day. This year is extra special for me. I'm celebrating Father's Day for the 1st time, since my wife and I became proud parents of a baby girl 6 months ago. Time sure flies by quickly.
There's no doubt parenthood is a major life changing event. It comes with great responsibility, but it offers even greater rewards (love, happiness, long lasting memories, etc). Becoming a father has taught me a great deal about taking responsibility and caring for others, especially my baby girl. It has also instilled in me a deeper appreciation for my family.
On this Father's Day, I have realized the true significance of this event. It's not just about me, nor is it just about my father or any one individual parent out there. In my mind and at least within my family, it's a celebration of the family and the bond that brings everyone together each year on the 3rd Sunday of June, on Mother's Day, and on all the other holidays!
