~ A Father Indeed ~

"A father carries pictures where his money used to be."

~Author Unknown

I am very fortunate indeed to have 2 fathers in my life.  They have both taught me so much and I feel that I have learned twice as many of life's gems because of both of them!

Here's to all the amazing fathers everywhere!  Who not only make a difference in their own little corner of the world - but who touch the world outside of them as well.

Be sure to watch this touching video, and pass it on to your fathers for sure!

Enjoy a collection of some of my favorite Father's Day quotes:

 "He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it."

"You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys."
~Harmon Killebrew

"One father is more than a hundred Schoolemasters."
