What Is A Dad ?

Even though my family is not perfect.... My son's father and I divorced after 27 years of marriage and I have lived with my partner Tom for several years .... and my father has passed... we still all on both sides ... appreciate what a father means to us.... I would like to share a poem with you ......

What Is A Dad..........

A dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off , and lets you try again.
A dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes, but instead let's you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt .
A dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, and has faith in you when even you fail.....
