He spent last night at his grandmothers and this morning when I picked him up he handed me a card. Now you should know that my boy is 11.
He looked at me and said: "It's a Birthday Card I changed into a Fathers Day card. I just thought that Fathers Day should be as big a deal as your birthday."
I don't choke up real often, but I did right then.
I know I'll never deny that my life is richer because I'm married to the love of my life and have been blessed with a fine son. I don't know how or why I have been so richly rewarded because I honestly don't think I've done all that much to deserve it. I just try to remain grateful every day I get out of bed.
Today is my 'Friday' and I'm really looking forward to spending my 2 days off with my wife and son just bumming around, maybe going to the pool, and just generally hanging out with the two people I love the most in this world.
Nobody needs to thank me for being a husband and a dad. There isn't anything else in this world I'd rather be known as.

You're a good man, L. Thanks for sharing!
God Bless you and your family, brother. You have discovered the secret of life: love others more than yourself. A famous man once said that.
That's wonderful and I feel the same. . .
Your family hit the jackpot of life: Two smart, honest, loving people who find each other and agree.
Very cool. I know there's no thanks needed. I just recognize how I feel with it's Mother's Day, and the kudos I extend in good concience to mothers on that day. I don't see that expressed openly nearly as much toward men.
