"Who's your daddy?"

You know, there’s a difference between being a father and being a daddy.

Being a father is about biology. Being a daddy is about being there when you learn to ride your bike or hit a baseball or score a soccer goal.

Being a father is about buying a house. Being a daddy is about creating a home, a place and space where you know you can go no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done.

Being a father is about not sparing the rod. Being a daddy is about teaching you how to measure up to your full potential as a person, about having integrity and playing fair and treating others the way you want them to treat you.

Being a father is about ruling your household. Being a daddy is about respecting your wife and children, and earning their respect by doing the right thing by them.

Being a father is about making a living. Being a daddy is about listening and making a life, and taking time to hear about your wows and your woes.

This Sunday, I pray you can wish “Happy Daddy’s Day” to yours!

I'm divorced with 2 sons from my previous marriage, and have remarried and have a daughter. My mother cross-stitched a saying for my current husband from the boys..."Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy"...I don't know who wrote it, but all of us know how very true that is, thank you for "Who's your daddy?"
