Happy Father's Day!

I want to take a moment here to congratulate both Mig & Ez, my brothers, on this very special day because if I'm not mistaken this Father's Day is their first "official" one, no? Well then, 3 cheers to you both! :)

And here's a quote I came across a couple of days ago, that I think does the subject justice:

* To be a father is to fulfill a noble vocation. But fatherhood is not for everyone: it is not for cowards or for those who are unsure of themselves. Once you become a father, you remain a father until you die. A true father must be a leader – a captain who guides his family’s ship through perilous waters to safe shores, a general who rallies his troops to take on the daily battles.

On the other hand, a father should also model love and compassion. Jesus was not afraid to compare himself to a hen gathering her chicks. He also wept. These qualities belong to true manhood, and a true father will seek to embody them.

I know that you both have what it takes to be fantastic fathers (a true father) to your little boys in every way -- be the perfect balance between love and discipline while also partaking of the simple joys that these tender ones revel in. Yet most importantly, teach them through your own example of kindness, courage and faith! I love and admire the both of you!

And here are a few other quotes on Fatherhood that I found interesting. Enjoy!

* Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad. —Author unknown

* Until you have a son of your own, you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son. You will never know the sense of honor that makes a man want to be more than he is and to pass something good and hopeful into the hands of his son. —Kent Nerburn

* A father carries pictures where his money used to be. —Author unknown

* You have a lifetime to work, but children are only young once.
—Polish proverb

* Someday you're going to be thankful that you had a part in those children's care and training. You will have helped form another human being. That's thrilling! Are you equal to the task? No, but God is, and He will help you if you try! -David B.B.

* Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction. —John Crosby

Following are some videos of Kenji reviewing his math in a fun way and at last I'm able to catch his lovely little voice on camera (he gets camera shy sometimes) and also his words are a bit more decipherable now, heh. :) So, enjoy! Pics of today's happenings will be added later on today, DV!
