Best job I ever had

Leave a comment

Happy Father’s Day. It’s not an easy role, but a very rewarding one. I work hard to be a good dad to my children and always be there for them.

Being a dad is the proudest thing I’ve done in my lifetime.

It’s a lifetime commitment to make. Many don’t realize that.

In the title of this post, “Best job I ever had.” The word job and father don’t seem compatible. I don’t look at being a father as work. But it is an incredible job to have and tremendous responsibility.

I had very limited time with my dad, so I’ve been kind of winging it since the beginning. My children will be the judge of how successful I’ve been.

Now I’m working on being both a great dad and granddad. The rewards of being a father just keep coming.

This shot reminded me that my son is taking his young son to a game soon. We are watching his baby granddaughter that evening.

Happy Father’s Day Dad.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
