Ladies: Is your Daddy your hero?

Question

I'm a daddy to a wonderful 16-month old girl and since Father's Day is Sunday, I'm curious:

1) Is your Daddy your hero? Why/why not.
2) Do you share a religious belief with him? Which?

Thanks, and "Happy Dad's Day" to the dads out there!

Boys and Dads: My Dad is my hero, but it is very different than the way a girl views her father. For instance, he's spending Father's Day up on my roof helping me repair it even though he lives two hours away. I'm not trying to be sexist with this question - just curious since I have only my one daughter.

Answer 1

Absolutley my father was my hero! And many others as well.

I am putting a couple things about my dad below.
Thank you for the oppurtunity to share them.

For Father's Day
I hope that each and everyone of you have Father's day with joy in your heart...


This is for my daddy.

I was given a word from the Lord about grace. Hope I can write it out as it is very dear to my heart.I was struggling with the concept of grace. And this is what the Lord taught me from my own father.(who was covered in the Lord, and walked with honor.)

My father was a carpenter, for his passion to build was great. He took great care in his tools and shop and his workmanship was displayed everywhere in our home, that he had also built.
I was his youngest child, and favored by him as the last little one on his knee.
One summer day, I decided to play in my fathers shop. Sitting amid the sawdust and smellling the smells of varnish and oils playing where I knew that I shouldn't. I took some of my fathers tools, and began to make mudpies, shaping them working hard as only a child can at play.
A shadow fell over me as my father walked in his shop to find, dirt, stain and dissarray everywhere from my disobedience. He was so angry in his judgement, so tall looking down at me, his once beloved child.
I began to weep, for fear of disobeying this man who had held me so dear to his chest. For letting him down, and for doing what I knew was wrong.
He sent me to my mother in the house, that he had built. She took one look at me with sadness and compassion, and holding my hand, led me to a hot bath to wash the dirt away. With great care, and a small song on her lips she caused the dirt and the fear to dissapate....Taking me out of the tub, wrapping me in a soft white robe, clean and fresh and new sent me back to my Father...and as he looked at me, the great anger left his face, and I was forgiven, once again sitting on his knee, knowing the shelter of his love.

be blessed in your Father this father's day...


for my dad who walked a walk that my heavenly father could use to teach me grace.

my dad Harold P , Husband, Father,Friend. WW2 and Korean War veteran Full of wisdom, and heart. Missed by many,loved by them all. You were a great father, I was lucky to have you! Some day I wil see you again! Amazing Grace how sweet the sound..

Answer 2

Yea. Absolutely! My father died some time ago, and still yes.
Because he took the time to be my daddy - to talk with me and play with me, and teach me....he was never too busy for me no matter what was going on.

My dad and I did not share the same religion until I was 19 and he joined. It was the only church he ever belonged to - but we always shared a belief in a higher power and an appreciation for life and nature.

Good luck being a dad - it's the best job you'll ever get!

Answer 3

1) Nope. He used to be, and I think that can cause young women a dangerous faith crisis if they put their father on a pedestal and then he fails them. My dad had a major midlife crisis and did some really bad things, so I don't have much of a relationship with him these days.
2) Unfortunately, yes. Although he's a worse representation of Christianity than a lot of the people on here.


Anyway, Happy Father's Day to you. I'm sure your little girl is precious.

Answer 4

I love my Daddy. He is one of my heroes.For many years, I felt like I didn't matter to him since he and Mom worked all of the time, but he was gone more than she. It really made me sad. Yet, I see that he was only trying to do what he thought he ought. He always looks out for Mom, my brother and me before himself. He's still works many hours, but not as many as before. I'm 17 and will move out in another year or so, but he'll always be one of my heroes.
Daddy didn't go to church much when I was younger. He didn't like it. He started going to church a few years ago. He's a Baptist Christian now, and I'm an Assembly of God Christian. We disagree on some things, but that's o.k.

Answer 5

No. But that is because I'm older I think. He's just my dad. Plus he was in the Marine's and honestly wasn't home that often. We were never really close. But MY daughter worship the ground my husband walks on. They are Daddy's Girls to the core.
My dad is Christian, I'm Pagan, my husband is athiest.

Answer 6

YES YES YES.... ABSOLUTELY

There can never be a man kinder nicer and better than him in the whole wide world.. He always treated us like princesses and we are simply lucky to have him as the father.. Once I die and meet Allah.. I will tell HIM that of all the things He gave me, I am most thankful for the greatest set of parents I got... Thank you Allah.
Love you Dad :)

Answer 7

1) No, my father has never wanted anything to do with me. He paid child support, but that was the extent of it.

2) My father's religion was sex, drugs, and fast cars, so I think not.

Happy Father's Day to you! You're making a wonderful dad already!

Answer 8

first of all, happy father's day!

1) no, i but now as an adult i respect him greatly. he is extremely intelligent, a great business man, and loves my step mother competely. he's not my hero because he ran out on my mom and brother and i to live with my step mom and raise her child. we saw him once a year and he never sent money to help us. but that's water under the bridge

2)he's atheist, i was raised atheist, but i've been pagan for 20 yrs

Answer 9

Why only ladies? Some little boys think their dad's are hero's too.

Anyway...My dad was a terrific man, very loving and caring and funny- and he was not religious and I am just like him.

Answer 10

Yes

Answer 11

Yes. Even though Dad passed away over 10 years ago, he is still my hero.
I have the same religious belief. Church of Christ.
