To Our Papas Jefes...oops, Jeffs

"I'm so glad when daddy comes home, glad as I can be. Clap my hands and shout for joy and climb upon his knee. Wrap my arms around his neck, hold him tight like this. Squeeze his cheeks and give him what? A great big kiss! Muah!"

Jeff Taylor



Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad.

Dad, thank you for teaching me the meaning of honor. I feel less afraid at the prospect of being a father because I have a good example in you to follow. Thank you for always being willing to sacrifice your time and effort for your kids, and for the wonderful memories. I'll never forget your making the effort to educate us in things much more exciting than school, such as taking us to different parts of the world. I love the memories of all the family vacations, the father-son outings, the business trips we got to take turns tagging along, and scout camps when you made surprise visits. I love you. Happy Father's Day.

To my Father, whom I love dearly, thank-you for always acting so excited to receive those crazy cheap gifts they had us make in primary. The paper ties, the cheesy safety pin tie tacks, etc. Thank-you for always making time in your busy schedule for me. I can't recall a single daddy-daughter date that you weren't able to make time for. Thank-you for being a loving, kind, and caring father that taught me to always choose the right and make good choices, even when know one was looking or would know except for me and the Lord. I cherish your example, and I Love you more than you'll ever know!!! Happy Father's Day!!!!

Those are great pictures of all of the dads, and very sweet comments about your own dads. I know they must be pleased to be honored by kids as wonderful as you are!
