I've earned a few titles over the years: Master of Photography, CPP, Captain... but the best title of all has been "Dad." Daddy, when our daughter was younger. I answer to both. But, "Daddy" generally means it's going to cost me something these days... time, expertise, or money.
We are a long ways from our lovely daughter this Father's Day, but it made my morning to spend an hour with her on the phone. She is a lot like me - wears her heart on her sleeve, knows when to care, and when to take charge. I couldn't be more proud of her and the life she and Dan have made together.
I discovered this along the way: having a daughter makes you a better man. You want to be the kind of guy that your little girl looks up to.
Stephanie told me it would be a tech kinda Father's Day... my cards came via text message (with images of the cards). Still got me a little teary-eyed. The medium may be different, but the sentiment is the same. We don't have an address to get mail here on the island - this works.
Thank you, Stephanie, for being the best daughter a man could ever hope for. Thanks, Joan, for making me a Father... Steph and I could not have done this without you. ;-)
