I love my dad's humour. He's very sweet with animals (I admit that this was always hard for me, because it often seemed that he loved and cared for his 'pets' better than us, but now I understand the deep love and pride he had in his children though - even though he couldn't express it.)
I love that he's honest. He's very practical and can build anything or fix anything.
He's tenacious - he never gives up unless it's absolutely a lost cause.
what do you love about your father?

In that I'm not really sure what 'love' is...
I 'love' nothing about my father.
As I read some of these posts on this Fathers' Day I am taken with the warmth and sincerity I find within many of them.
Especially touching are those poignant posts by those whose fathers have passed on when my own, worthless ******* that he is, still breathes; just doesn't seem fair to me...
Know that, if it was at all possible,...
I would gladly, and without hesitation, snatch the Life right out of my father were it able to give any of you just one more minute to be with your Dads...
Is that thought horribly wrong?...
...Perhaps, - but I feel my intentions are right,... and that's just fine by me...;-)
I wish you all a Happy Fathers Day!

Any one who Has a Father, or was Raised By Your Father, is Very Blessed. My Father Deserted My Mother and 5 Of us children many years ago. (Back then, you could not "run" them down like today) My Mother worked two Jobs to support us, and "keep" us together. What A Woman! ( My Father was legally declared Dead after 7 Years) Only to surface after we were grown. We Did Not Know Him, Nor cared to then! So, If you have a good Father, Love Him and Honor Him. WE Never Knew what A FATHER'S Love Was. But thank God for a Mother's DEEP LOVE For Us. (smile) + + +

For 20 years, my dad cheated on my mom, had two children with the other woman, behaved abusively toward us and my mom (and, I imagine, the other woman and his two daughters with her). He just couldn't see what he was doing and how negatively it affected him and everyone around him. (We all knew about each other the entire time.)
He moved into his own apartment when I turned 18, and he was no longer financially responsible for anyone in my household. He went to raise his other family. But he quickly realized what kind of woman the other woman was. He also realized my mother was having none of it. She stood by his side every moment, and she fought to get him to come home.
That was ten years ago. And now, I guarantee you, he's out at the casino with my mom having a blast. They are happier and healthier than I have ever seen them. They are building a new house together. He is committed to her (he buys her flowers now; it's the strangest thing!). And I can talk to him like a human being for the first time ever.
Plus, he has grand kidlings running around, and they REALLY mellowed him out.
I'm just proud of him for becoming a man.

I lost my dad last year, and I'm sorry to hear about your dad's illness. I could write a book of things I dislike about my often absent dad. Let's just say he would never win any father of the year awards.
I never held the grudge and I was at peace with all the man's flaws. The reason I could do this, and this is the thing I love about him, is that the times that he was in my life he always accepted me as his son. He made it quite clear I could be the most vile of criminals, live an outrageous lifestyle, fail, suck, etc etc, and none of it would effect the way he loved me.
He angered, hurt, and disappointed a lot of people, including myself. He was deeply flawed. But anyone who truly knew my dad knew that there was an extremely decent and generous hearted human being buried in his complexity.
Here's to dads everywhere!

My dad to me was the greatest dad, he knew a little bit of everything, he taught me alot. We never did the things others kids do with their dad but what we did do and the time we spent together is a memory that stays in my heart..He use to play the guitar and never needed a sheet of music in front of him he did it by ear and he would sing songs usually old time christian songs to us when we were little. He work his back side off to feed us 6 kids, he walked to work and back in snow and rain and the good days from work because we didn't have a car then, we at one time even had an old school bus as our home, he always was there for us and he would give the shirt off his back for anyone and his last 2 cents to whoever needed it, he was a very giving dad, had alot of love for everyone and to me was the best.He is now up in heaven with my mom awaiting for their kids to come home again..

Even though my father passed away more than 20 years ago, I can still see the laugh lines around his eyes!
My father walked with honor and was covered in the Lord.
He showed me how a father can love unconditionally. So that I could have understanding of how a heavenly father could love me.
He was a carpenter, fisherman, and loved life. He cherished my mom , truly as Christ loved the church. He built in his family pride, love, self worth. He set us up for every thing that life would hand us.
He was the rock of our family. And taught us to lean on the rock of Jesus Christ.
Even as he fought with cancer, and was nearing the end of his life, he would still testify of the love of Jesus to the people in the bed next to him. Letting God use that terrible disease for his glory...
My dad used to take 150 kids to church every sunday, on two school buses. He went and visited those families every week. He is so greatly missed, and loved.

WW2 and Korean war veteran, husband , father , friend. Ebracing life, setting a standard, and living every moment with the spirit of the Lord and the hand of the Lord upon him.
I miss him so... thank you for an oppurtunity to share about this wonderful man. If you would like to read more about him, please visit my blog about grace.
In Christ~ vicki.

He never was a hugger that I remember...but I do it now to him every time I see him...I really think that is the way he was brought up..HE CAN"T say I LOVE YOU...but I can say it...he's just my DAD...a truly wonderful person...I did so many things with him when I was little and he taught me to fish...and we still do that when we can...and he still gets my line out of the trees, and when I get stuck on a rock...He is a wonderful father, even though he's older now...
HE'S STILL MY DADDY...

When my dad gets behind something, he starts a movement. He could get anyone in my hometown to move a mountain for him, if he saw fit.
He was very patient when we were children. He is a simple man with not much education but I know he tries very hard to be open minded.
When I was little, he sacrificed a lot to take our family on vacations that we couldn't afford.

I love that he's such a crazy, hilarious loon that only half the people on earth even have the mind to get him. I like that he's always there and he loves his kids more than anything. I like that he is always jumping to do something for us and all he wants for father's day is hugs. He's always there and so into being a dad. It's like having three fathers.

you're describing what you have faith to be the suited human father, perfect? God is previous our understanding and is not any longer certain via the regulations he has given us. additionally bear in mind that God is holy and can't have sin in His presence. do no longer ignore the two that He made a fashion for us to be like His "well-known Son" in His eyes: via repenting of our sins and asking forgiveness. he won't turn you away. returned to Newlybor..... Context is important. do no longer ignore to study the section approximately how disobeying God will carry approximately those tribulations. God bless!
