To all you unsung heroes out there.  I know that I could not think of a better father for Patrick than Jeff and when I was trying to compose something in the last day or two of what Patrick might say to him if he could talk, well, it just made me cry too much and I didn't get much accomplished.  Maybe I can think about it over this next year and create something next year for him like that.  I wouldn't be able to take this journey without him to help carry the load.  If I can't use my words about Patrick's awesome father, then let me use some other words by famous peopole. 

"My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me."  -- Jim Valvano

"He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it."  --Clarence Budington Kelland

"It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons."  -- Johann Schiller

"Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! -- Lydia M. Child, Philothea:  A Romance, 1836

"Never raise your hand to your kids.  It leaves your groin unprotected."  -- Red Buttons

"Spread the diaper in the position of a diamond with you at bat.  Then fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher's mound.  Put first base and third base together, bring up home plate and pin the three together.  Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again."  -- Jimmy Piersal on how to diaper a baby in 1968 (cloth diapers all you disposable diaper dads out there)

"By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong."  -- Charles Wadworth

"I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection."  -- Sigmund Freud

"It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father."  -- Pope John XXIII

"One night a father overheard his son pray:  Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is.  Later that night, the father prayed, Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be."  -- Author unknown

I hope you all have a wonderful Father's Day.

Anybody want to share some inspiration thoughts, quotes or humor?

That's okay. I figured you were out of touch and we'd hear back from you when you could be. Looking forward to more details about next month when you get a chance.

Happy Belated Father's Day to you.

Mother of a 12-year-old child with autism, mild hypotonic CP, dyspraxia, MR and a seizure disorder. Married for 15 years. Have worked full-time as a telecommuter for the last 19 years. I've been the special needs minister at our church, but time demands haven't allowed me to go back. Published before in "Catholic Digest", and different poems in several books of poetry. I love 24, American Idol, Lost, Jericho and Sci-Fi (Stargate Atlantis, SG-1, Farscape, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica). My husband and I are huge movie buffs. I love to swim. I love golden retrievers. They are awesome dogs. I used to sing/take formal vocal lessons and had a formal vocal recital at Hamman Hall at Rice University in the mid 1980's. Although my friends have encouraged me that I need to write about my life story, I've made several attempts and it isn't going too well. I love blogging. It's my new creative outlet. I am a member of Texas School Watch, an advocacy group bent on exposing misuse of your tax dollars within school districts. Join the fight at: http://texasschoolwatch10
