Happy Father's Day

Thank you to all the Dads who make their daughters feel like they’re the most beautiful, smartest and best little girls in the world.
And since I’m not a guy, I can only hope that father’s make their sons feel competent and confident in being a man.
Happy Father’s day to my brothers and brothers in law, who do that very thing every day.
Happy Father’s day to David, who takes care of everyone in his life. I don’t think our father taught him that. I think our mother taught him that trick. By the time my sister was 11 and my brothers were in their late teens, our father had died. My brothers are smart men and somehow they’ve figured it out without Daddy to guide them directly.
My brother in law Bob didn’t have a sister. He had to learn to parent a girl. And Allison is confident and smart and gorgeous and I think she knows it yet doesn’t flaunt it. My nephew Kegan is confident and smart and handsome and an individualist. They’re well-adjusted kids thanks to the parenting both my sister and Bob have done. Kudos to Bob on Father’s Day.
Happy Father’s Day to my children’s father, Jeff. Our daughter is comfortable in her skin because Jeff treated her like a princess. Patrick is the McGyver of James Island…because his father taught him in a million little ways how to rely on himself and how to figure out ANYTHING. Katie is a wonderful woman and Patrick a wonderful man because Jeff was their father.
And a huge Happy Father’s Day to Michael. Marrying into a family of grown children and being patient and strong and steadfast for them always. Thank you, Mike, for always being there for them and for me.
Daddy, I hope you can see how well we all turned out. So Happy Daddy Day to all the great men in my life.
