HAPPY FATHERS DAY! – and some great father stories.

Happy Fathers Day to all Dad’s, from one continent to another.

Today I’ll share some stories with my reader that portray what I feel is a more realistic image of fathers as compared to the negative images portrayed by the media and feminist leaning thinkers.

• Sadly, Tim Russert died this week of a heart attack at the young age of 58. Tim was best known as the host of the successful political show “Meet the Press”. But Tim is also known for writing a best selling book about his father titled Big Russ and Me, and another book about fathers called Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons, which is composed of positive stories from sons and daughters about their fathers.
  Glenn Sacks has covered the passing of Tim, and his legacy to fathers extensively at his website. To read more click here.
• In a 2004 interview, Tim discusses his book Big Russ and Me, his father, and fatherhood with Neil Cavuto from Fox News. To listen, click here.
• This next story is one that defies the general perception of fathers being lazy. Instead it shows how fathers have the capacity to love, care for, nurture, stabilize, and extend themselves beyond average parental responsibilities when it comes to their children.
  Paul Goncalves is a truck driver who’s son has a condition called hydrocephalus, which causes an accumulation of spinal fluid on the brain. His son requires round the clock care that Paul’s wife cannot manage because she has severe depression. So Paul takes his son on the road, turning his cab into a mobile care center.
  This is just one incredible father. Hat’s of to you Paul!

• This story is about Mark Harris, and how he will celebrate this Fathers Day. Mark will spend it protesting the biased family court system in England. You see Mark is a member of the father’s rights group Fathers 4 Justice.
  If you have ever wondered why father’s rights groups are needed, read how Mark was consistently denied the right to see his children for a number of years due to frivolous accusations and a biased court system that keeps good fathers from their children. It becomes clear why men like Mark do what they do.

• Here is a heart warming story about a father and his son who has Down syndrome. Mike and Casey Deegan do everything together, at that includes spending Fathers Day doing what most people would never expect – skydiving!
  Read Mike and Casey’s story, and see how this father and son appear just as normal as any other father and son team.

• This next article comes from a woman named Lizabetta who has her own blog detailing her life as a once single mother. In this article, she uses her blog to eloquently convey the appreciation she has for her husband, not just as a spouse, but as a loving, caring father.
  However, I have to note that I am partial to her writings. She is a visitor to my blog, appreciates my writing, and I have corresponded with her in the past. But even with that being said, it does not take away the beauty or sincerity of her article.
