This dad has always been “more funnier”
By Marybeth Hicks

Years ago when she was only six years old, my daughter Amy said the biggest difference between mom and dad is, “Dad is more funnier.” So true. Dad was the parent who composed rap songs about doing dishes, taught the “I’ve Got Too Much Homework” blues, and cheerfully chatted it up before school in the morning while all around him, mayhem erupted. Some would call this oblivious. In fact, I used to call this oblivious.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY from CHRISTY

I wrote this poem for my dad when I was in high school. It still rings true to my heart today. This year for Fathers’ Day may we all thank our dad for everything. If you do not have a dad, then thank all the father figures in your life and/or thank someone you know who is a father today. Christy L. Riley
