To , Bob, Craig, & the other dads on the board

I just wanna wish a Happy Father's Day and to tell you all that you

mean so much to your daughters with autism as well as your sons

with/without autism. I know in my own life as I begin to come out of

the depression I felt a few years ago I'm only beginning to realize

the impact of my husbands' life, as well as how profoundly in awe I am

of all you dads.

We moms tend to get the glory, particularly when we have daughters. I

guess because my father died when I was a kid I really comprehend how

much you all mean. You all set the tone for how our daughters perceive

their bodies, their femininity, their relationship with Christ. That's

no small order. I commend each of you dads who make the effort to be a

holy dad to your daughters & sons. Wow, that's no small feat.

I'm sure if you are anything like us moms you may doubt your role in

our daughters' & sons' lives. You set the tone for how they view their

relaitonship with their Heavenly Father. If you ever wonder why us

wives are so screwed up, lol, you often don't have to look any further

that our own fathers' relationships. May God have mercy and bless your

roles! You may never know how important, how holy, how pure your role

will be, nor how thankful, how pertinent, how glad we are to have you

all. In this day of making fun of the role of males, I'm never more

grateful for a true man. As Brad says, " You're still a guy. "

I don't wanna clean you, change you, reshape you, I celebrate you.

When you knock some guy as he cops a feel, I celebrate you. Grab your

tackle box! I often hope you're gonna try when you give a back rub!

Don't get neutered, keep your pair, I love that gun in your truck,

you're still a man!! I can't speak for other women, but man, do I love

a man!!

thank you debi for you kind thoughts and words. its like the song says

'fathers be good to your daughters daughter will love like you do' we have

much

influence too. woman and men were designed as a team. each with needed

qualities to raise kids and help each other. we were made to complement each

other.

and I take pennie and Abby when I pick up my tackle box

and to when we give you a back rub and try to make it more... I feel to make

love to our wife's is the ultimate physical display of love. my aunt

always said when your 1st married you have sex. the more you fall in love and

the

longer your together you make love.

yes men tend to have more of a biological need for sex but it is also an

important way we express our love for our mates. the more in love the more we

want to show it. (that and taking care of nasty things like taking out the

trash lol) men are physical women are more mental and emotional.

thanks again. oh and we should get cleaned up and shower every day

otherwise it gets too stinky.

and its a dad responsibility to help our kids find humor in the world such

as farts being funny so long as we are not in public
