Dads Who Get It: Part 1

All around us, I think it’s easy to see the dads who don’t get it, both in real life and on television.  As I have said before, so many dads have run from their duties.  Just ask the 24.7 million children living apart from their biological fathers (National Fatherhood Initiative).  Granted, not all of these are dead beat dads.  However, we have an epidemic of fatherlessness in our country.  Our media doesn’t help matters.  Let’s face it, men on television are depicted as lazy, bumbling goofballs who have no sense of responsibility.  Over the weeks leading up to Father’s Day, I am going to be honoring those dads who get it.  I will be sharing personal stories, as well as true stories I find from other sources.  Today, I would like for you to watch the videos below.  Dick Hoyt gets it!!  May God continue to bless this man and his son, Rick.  This is fathering at its best!  Enjoy.
