I can't resist the urge to brag about my dad, Jim Fay. Growing up, my sisters and I quickly learned that he meant business. We learned that his word was always gold. We learned that the quality of our young lives was far improved when we obeyed. We learned that he was strong and not to be messed with.
 
We learned many other things about our dad…
 
We learned that he loved us no matter what. We knew that we were forgiven even before we did something needing forgiveness. We knew that he always saw the best in us. We saw him loving our mom. We even saw him loving every stray and stinky dog that wandered his way.
 
My dad has always been the strongest and most loving man in my life.
 
Speaking of his love for us and his love for dogs, I'll never forget how my beloved furry pal was accidentally killed by trying to herd our neighbor's Saab. I was nine. I was devastated. My father was devastated. We cried together as he held me in his strong yet loving arms. He reminded me that he loved me, and he reminded me that I had made an obligation to entertain seniors by playing my trombone at the Elks Lodge that afternoon. I cried all the way to my performance… but I completed it!
 
Many important lessons were learned that tough afternoon. I learned that my dad really loved me and was sad for me and my canine buddy. I learned that I was strong enough to move on with life even when I didn't think I could. I learned that somehow it makes things feel a little bit better when we do things for others. I'm reminded of a quote from our book, Love and Logicisms:
 
Without saying a word, we constantly show our kids what we believe they can be. They will either live up to our highest expectations…or down to our greatest fears.
 
Strong and loving dads help children grow to become strong and loving adults.
 
Happy Father's Day!
