This morning I was woke up at seven thirty by a little six year old hand knocking on my bedroom door.  It was my six year old daughter holding a homemade Father’s day card.  She had made it with red construction paper and crayons.  I was barely awake yet she had a grin from ear to ear.  I sat down in my chair and opened it.  It large blue and green crayon it said “I lov you.  you are the best dad evr”  I started to tear up.  I overlooked the two words that she misspelled, she is after all six years old and had just finished Kindergarten.  I just sat there with tears in my eyes and gave her a big hug.  While I was hugging her I thought back to her just finishing Kindergarten.  My daughter was not able to write this simple sentence last Father’s day.  Why was this year different?  She had a good Teacher this past year.  Many of us take for granted reading and writing.  Yet we all had to learn it at some point.  Teachers make a big different in our children’s lives. Yet most of us take them for granted.  Were would we be as a society today with out Teachers.  So dad’s when you think about the construction paper cards your little ones gave you this Father’s day maybe you should send a thank you note to your child’s teacher for helping make it possible.  I just did.
