Every time Father's Day comes around I think of the old Salt n Pepa song, Whatta Man. I know! Salt n Pepa? I am a child of the 80's and some of those tapes that play in the head never go away, but I digress. Anyway, there is a line in the song that Brad and I have always laughed at when we hear it. As Salt (or Pepa, whoever can tell them apart) is listing all the tributes of her great man she sings "spends quality time with his kids when he can." When he can?! What does that mean? Fatherhood isn't about when you can. Fatherhood (and parenthood, in general) is probably most important when you think you can't or even when you don't want to. We are so spoiled at our house. I really do think my girls have the best dad in the world. I should forewarn all the mom's of sons that the bar has been set pretty high with the example the Pettet dad has shown. I am not sure your boys will be up for the demands of these future wives/mothers.
We love you, Daddy! Happy Father's Day!
(PS - Happy Father's Day to my dad, too! He is pretty awesome as well. Love you, Pops!)
