Every year, Father’s Day invites us to pause and reflect on the men who’ve shaped our lives in both loud and quiet ways. The ones who stood in our corner, sometimes saying little but meaning everything. Today is for them.


Fatherhood, in all its forms, is complex and beautiful. Some of us were lucky to have a dad who taught us how to ride a bike, helped us make sense of a confusing world, or simply showed up—day after day—with that steady, dependable presence. These are the men who worked long hours, cracked dad jokes, offered up tough love when needed, and somehow managed to be both soft and strong at the same time.


But let’s not box fatherhood in. Today’s dads are rewriting the script. They’re diaper changers, dinner makers, deep feelers, and bedtime-story readers. They’re showing up emotionally and physically, with intention. They’re the “I’m proud of you” texters and the “call me when you get there” worriers. They’re in it—not just for the big milestones, but for the everyday mess and magic.


And then there are the father figures—those incredible souls who weren’t assigned the role by biology but embraced it by choice. Grandfathers, uncles, big brothers, coaches, mentors, friends. If you’ve ever had someone step in with guidance, with love, with presence—you know how powerful that role can be.


Take a moment today to think about those small, seemingly ordinary moments: a laugh you’ll never forget, a lesson you didn’t realize you’d carry with you forever, or that indescribable comfort of knowing someone had your back. Those moments are fatherhood too.


Let’s honor the men who’ve helped shape us. Drop a favorite picture of your dad or a special father figure in the comments below. Share a story, a memory, or just say thanks. Let’s fill this space with gratitude.


Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, stepdads, papas, mentors, and stand-in father figures—you matter more than you know. We see you, we appreciate you, and we’re thankful for all the ways you’ve shown up. Shining more awareness and gratitude for Father's Day and fatherhood as a whole is not a one and done journey though. Please remember wherever you are on this journey, do not worry about getting it perfect; just get it going. Until next time. Happy reading!

"Dad, I Want to Hear Your Story" isn't just a book; it's an invitation to connection and a legacy in the making. While many gifts offer temporary enjoyment, this book provides an opportunity to create something truly lasting – a tangible record of your father's life, in his own words.

Imagine sitting down with your dad, not just for a holiday or a birthday, but with a shared purpose: to explore his unique journey. This book is thoughtfully designed with prompts and questions that guide him through different phases of his life. From his earliest childhood memories and family traditions to the challenges he faced, the lessons he learned, and the wisdom he gained, the prompts encourage him to open up and share stories you might never have heard before. Get your copy on Amazon. Choose from spiral-bound, hard copy, or paperback.


"It is not flesh and blood, but the heart which makes us fathers and sons." ~Johann Friedrich von Schiller
