The words from your heart to Dad… unsaid… unwritten… make it known, today.

If you’re sending a thoughtful gift and a Father’s Day Card, chances are you’ll also be searching for inspirational quotes on Being a Dad and Fatherhood to include. 

Every day is an opportunity to express our love and appreciation to the Dads in our lives. Yet, on Father’s Day, it rings special to celebrate The Man. 

What does Dad mean to you? Which values were taught that left beautiful imprints? What are you thankful for that he’s in your life? Everything that holds the bond you shared.

You do some soul-searching, walking back to memory lane or looking back at those precious old photos of you and him.

The person who’s been present through the peaks and valleys. The one who changed your nappies in the wee hours and stayed up to wait till you got home safely. The one who gave the best tickles and goodnight kisses.

The person who comforted you when your heart was broken, despite him hurting seeing you hurt. The one who encouraged you to stand up to bullies in school and to speak up for yourself. The man who cheered you on any event you participated in.

The Man who loves you unconditionally and without limits.

The one who let you soar away to see you grow and succeed in life. The person who prays for you day in and night.

Fatherhood isn’t only measured by how close the percentage of DNA you share; it also weighs in how a Dad steps in even when there aren’t any blood relations. 

A Dad’s legacy comes from the experiences shared, lessons imparted, and the love between you. No one can replace that bond, and you want to tell him how much he means to you.
