Lucky for Us, There Are Dads


"This is my beautiful little girl."


"My dad worked really hard to be the 
best father he could be.  I miss him so."  




"My dad is the boss, a great one too."   

"We cannot say enough good things
about him, and I feel so thankful. 
I love you very much daddy!"  


"My dad is fair and he
makes us feel safe all the time." 


"My dad sacrificed much to
support his kids.  We always
wanted to make him proud of us."



"My husband is a new father
and I love hearing him
sing our son to sleep!"


"Tough and tender at the same
time is how I describe my father."



"Going to the father-daughter
dance together was  wonderful!"


"He's gone now and in a better 
place, my father.  I'll miss him forever
but his gifts are mine every day."




"You asked about my father?
He's is one-of-a-kind.
Yes, the very the best kind!"  




Lazy day watching TV with dad...... 
"She's knows who Dora is but
does
not show much interest yet. 
She's really into Elmo."

Courage to Finish


 Jim Redmond made history when he helped
his injured son, Derek, cross the finish line in the
Barcelona Olympic Games of 1992.  This runner

  had been competing in a 400 meters semifinal race
when he pulled up and fell, with a torn hamstring.
 
Seeing Derek in pain and in tears, Jim immediately
ran onto the track to support his child in that moment. 


In an interview with reporters later, Jim declared,
"We started his career together and
we're going to finish, together." 


Did you know that for his inspiring act, Jim Redmond
was selected to carry the Olympic flame during
the torch relay for the 2012 London Games?



#courage         #support          #teamwork

Remember:  finish the race and 
finish it well, for that is within you.
