I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather, C. S. Lewis.
To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter.
I'm lucky that I was born to these parents. I'm lucky that my dad wanted to be around me, that he took me to all these National League cities by the time I was 12.
No love is greater than that of a father for His son.
My father is an amazing person.
My dad meant so much to myself and the entire family.
My darling father gave me some decent getaway sticks - my legs are OK.
I've never known my real father, and I've never looked for a father figure in a boyfriend, but I suppose I have looked for real father figures in my life - and I've acquired more than one. I certainly couldn't ask for better ones. I love them enormously - and they know that.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.
Even if my father wasn't speaking to me, he would never, ever miss a baseball game.
My dad taught me how to fish. When I am stand in a trout stream now, and I have the waders on, and I've got a fly rod in my hand, or I am fishing for bass, I think of sitting in a boat with my dad. How can that be a bad experience?
For my dad to say he's proud of me - in English - is a really big deal.
My father is truly always by my side.
When it comes to guys, my dad is the measure of the perfect man. And that's a pretty tough standard to match up to.
My father did everything for me. He was awesome.
I have no worthwhile memories of my father, therefore no idea of what a father's role should be.
It is not weird for a dad to be doing the dishes, the laundry, and taking the kids to school, and read them stories for bed.
When I was a kid, my father would read Neil Simon plays with me, when I was going to bed, as bedtime stories.
If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons.
I am a friendly father.
Being with my kids is really important to me, being a good dad and being around a lot.
My Dad is my hero.
I want to be able to be a father to my kids, where I've never seen my father, but my kids can see me whenever they want, so that was broken.
Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers: higher even than justification.. . To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the Father is greater.
One day, my father brings a cassette. He's showing me this, and he's like, 'Look at this guy, his name is Anthony Santos, like you.' I popped it on and started hearing the songs, the music, and I was like, 'Wow, this sounds great.'
