Three wond'rous events transpired in my life:

1. I learned to read.
2. I fell in love with a person who returned my love sevenfold.
3. I became a father.

I want to make special mention of our community members who are also fathers, in no particular order (and I am sure that I will forget someone, so please forgive me, accept 1,000 apologies, and speak up to represent yourselves!):

Uncle Yuan

USAgent
Alaric (kitties need papas! :))
Bujin (IIRC)

gdaybloke ('Nuff said about that clan ;))

BlueBard
Sevenforce

Renegade (IIRC)
Kittbasher (cheers!)
El Condor (because having a puppy means being a father :))

Happy Father's Day, all!

We got my Dad and two brother-in-laws Red Sox Vs. Yankees tickets  :cool:

I got a Happy Father's Day hug while I was on the toilet!  Huzzah!

Yeah, I got my Father's Day cards from my wife and son along with a huge deli lunch via takeout with my in-laws today...

And of course we are just watching DVDs all afternoon and evening as a family thing.  :wub:

I've been a dad for 8 years and today was probably the nicest one yet.

Fatherhood rules.

Heh... got mine Indians Vs. Twins. Go Tribe!

Muchas gracias for this thread, ow_tiobe_sb, and the well-wishing.  And congrats to you on Daddy-hood!

Yes, I do have a sweet pup and ferret who call me Dad (they talk to me in my mind, okay?!), but, even more importantly, an awesome stepson who is working his way towards med school.  I couldn't be prouder of the guy.

Happy (belated) Father's Day to all the papas amongst us! :thumbup:
