HomeWork Solutions: Happy Father’s Day to our first super hero!!

Written by Vanessa Vidal, FPC | 6/14/13 10:00 PM

Today I woke up with the song “I believe I could fly” in my head.  I could not associate this phrase with anything other than the feeling a child has for their dad, their first super hero.  That person who makes the impossible … possible!  When talking about dad, I don’t just refer to our biological dad; but to all male figures that influence and make a difference in a child’s life.  Father figures can include fathers, step-fathers, fathers-in-law, grandfathers and great-grandfathers and even other male relatives.  I am talking about that powerful man, able to solve and fix every broken thing around the house, and even, the entire world!

I remember, when I was a child, there was a small airplane accident near the city where I grew up.  We drove by and the airplane was still stuck in the mountain, there was a rampage as they were waiting for the big truck and equipment to get it out of there.  I looked at my mom and said: “Can you believe the airplane is still there?  If they find it so hard to get it out, they should call Uncle Ron, I am sure he could take it out with no problem”.  The unbelievable thing for me (now) is that at that point in time, I really truly believed Uncle Ron would get the airplane out of the mountain and solve the problem.  Life through a child’s eyes is wonderful …

Today I want to take a moment and celebrate all those wonderful men seen as a super hero through a child’s eyes.  Dads: be aware this special and wonderful job has not only super powers; it comes with a super responsibility as well.  The way you raise a child, the way you react to a problem and the way you treat your children is the way they will go out into the world and interact with others.  You, as a dad, have this amazing power in your hands - Use it wisely!

DAD, I would define you as:  Do-Always-Desirable things … just because those small and innocent eyes are watching you!

Do you have a story about a wonderful man in your life, when you were a child, whom you thought could do the impossible? 

Share it with us (add a link to our Facebook page); share your own superhero with the world…

Happy Father’s Day to all our super heroes out there!
