John 10: 29-30 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.

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

It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons.
~ Johann Schiller
I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.
~ Imelda Marcos
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
~ Dinah Craik
If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty.'

The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.

If not for a father, we would not exist. Existence depends on a father! Families depend on a father figure!

I would like to wish fathers everywhere a Happy Father’s Day! Some fathers have passed on, some fathers are far away, but whatever the case may be, we will always hold a piece of our father in our hearts.

And yes, that describes my dad perfectly!

BTW, Joni, the writers in my family all come from my dad's side...
That quote was my favorite too! :)
None in my family write, although my eldest brother can write some mean poetry. (mean=GOOD)
I think we get that from my dad. :)
