58 Inspiring and Amazing Father quotes

Father’s Day Quotes to inspire you

As Father’s day approaches, I look back at the type of presence my dad had on my life. My dad is a silent and strong type who rarely expressed his affection for his family. But he always had my back and silently went about loving us through his actions and not words. Although, growing up I sometimes did not understand his ways, I understand him better everyday as I work on being the best Dad I can be to my kids. Father’s job is never done but we do what we do out of love for our family. Love you dad.
