Week 2 – September 2009
This week’s quote is dedicated to all Dads. This past weekend in many parts of the world was Fathers Day. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful Dad, a backstop, a rock, a best friend, a confidant and someone to challenge me to do and be all that I can be, and for that I will be forever grateful.
One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.
English Proverb
Any man can be a Father but it takes someone special to be a Dad.
Anne Geddes
I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection.
Sigmund Freud

To all the Dads out there, have a great week.
Whatever field you might be in, the job of being a Dad is the best. Enjoy all those magic moments.
Lots of love to all Dads
