Father's Day

What is a father?
Someone who fathers a child?
No. Fathering a child is too easy.
Someone who loves children?
No. Chidren are not difficult to love.
Someone who gives us lessons in life?
No. We can learn many of life's lessons through living.
So again, I ask, what is a father?
A father is a man struggling to be the best person he can be with success being measured by the kindness he bestows on a stranger.
