Fathers Shape Us

 “Fathers impart lessons and values we will always carry with us.”

That’s what President Obama said during his 2012 Father’s Day Speech. He went on to explain that whether a father is biological, foster or adoptive they teach us by:

• the encouragement they give
• the questions they answer
• the limits they set
• and their strength during difficulty.

Communities struggle when dads don’t play their part.

But millions of men—coaches, mentors, pastors and the like—step in where others have stepped out. And there are better men in the world because of your sacrifice. Thank you.
