Day: June 18, 2023

Happy Heavenly Father’s Day to all the dads who are no longer with us but continue to live on in our hearts and memories. Today, as we honor and celebrate the fathers who have passed away, let us reflect on the profound impact they had on our lives and the valuable lessons they taught us.

My dad Tom Briglovich was the first man I ever loved, and his presence in my life was invaluable. He was not just a father to me, but also a teacher, a leader, mentor, and a friend. He showed me what a man of integrity looked like, his kindness, and strength and love were everything. He taught me the importance of hard work, perseverance, and never giving up on my dreams. Especially when life throws you curve balls or when others try to keep you down.

One of the most remarkable qualities about my dad was his ability to listen. He always made me feel heard, validated, and understood. Whether I had a problem, a success to celebrate, or simply needed someone to talk to, he was there for me. His unwavering support and encouragement gave me the confidence to believe in myself and pursue my passions.

He was an amazing grandfather. And he loved his granddaughter Tiffany who’s Nick name was Muffy with every breath he had. She was the apple of his eye.

My dad also set a high bar for how men should treat others. He treated everyone with respect, compassion, and empathy. He never hesitated to lend a helping hand to those in need, and his generosity knew no bounds. From volunteering at local charities to being a shoulder to lean on for friends and family, he exemplified what it means to be selfless and caring.

I was blessed to have 2 amazing parents.

Thank you Lord.

This Father’s Day, as we remember and honor our dads who are no longer with us, let us cherish the memories we shared and the lessons they imparted. Let us strive to live our lives in a way that would make them proud. Let us carry their love, kindness, and wisdom in our hearts as we navigate through life.

To all the dads in heaven, thank you for your love, guidance, and everlasting impact on our lives. Though you may not be physically present, your spirit lives on within us. We honor you not just today, but every day, as we strive to be the best versions of ourselves.

Happy Heavenly Father’s Day to my dad and to all the dads who are watching over us from above. Your presence is deeply missed, but your love and legacy will forever endure.

Fatherhood is a role that should never be taken lightly. It is a responsibility that requires love, dedication, and constant effort. As we celebrate Father’s Day, it is important to recognize the significance of this role and the impact it has on both the fathers and their children.

First and foremost, being a father means being present in the lives of your children. It means being there for them, not only physically but also emotionally. Fathers have a unique ability to provide guidance, support, and love that is necessary for a child’s development. They serve as role models, teaching their children valuable life lessons and instilling in them important values and principles.

Furthermore, fathers play a crucial role in fostering a healthy bond with their children. This bond is built upon trust, respect, and open communication. By actively engaging in their children’s lives, fathers demonstrate their love and commitment, establishing a strong foundation for a lifelong connection. This bond forms the basis for a child’s sense of security, self-esteem, and overall well-being.

It is important to acknowledge that being a father extends beyond biological ties. Stepfathers, too, hold a special place in the lives of their children. Their willingness to embrace their role as a father figure and provide love and support is commendable. Stepfathers play a vital role in shaping the lives of their stepchildren, showing them what it means to be loved and cared for unconditionally.

In the eyes of the Lord, fathers hold a special place. The Bible acknowledges the importance of fathers and the role they play in the family unit. Ephesians 6:4 states, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” This verse highlights the responsibility fathers have to raise their children in a loving, nurturing, and godly manner.

On this special day, as we honor fathers both living and in heaven, let us remember the significance of their role. Being a father is not just a title, but a lifelong commitment to love, nurture, and guide their children. It is a job that comes with its challenges, but also brings immense joy, fulfillment, and purpose.

So, to all the fathers out there, Happy Father’s Day! May you continue to embrace your role with love, strength, and dedication. May you never break the bond with your children and always strive to be the best father you can be. And to the stepfathers, know that you too are chosen to be a dad, and your love and presence are deeply appreciated.
