A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.
A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.
A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail...

This post made me tear up. I shared it with my dad today. (cute pics too. awwh :) )
I just found your blog. I think your blog is what I've been hoping to find. You have a lighthearted, down-to-earth tone that not only talks about positivity but also radiates it.
I like you 'links I love' feature. That's fun for a link junkie like me!
Have a good day. ^_^
