Ode to Dandelions
Great Dads
I had such a fabulous dad. All of us so blessed are thankful–whether we’re grateful for our birth dad, stepdad, the dad who adopted us or a good man who plays a fatherly role in our lives. And let’s give a cheer for granddads too! Great dads: good men. The world needs them.
