“I'm not a dad, and my dad, who was the greatest, has been gone for 11 years now. However, my best friend Jay E., is an absolutely awesome dad. He will do anything to keep his two girls safe, healthy and happy. He has fought cancer and depression, and continues to fight every day, but the most important thing in his life is his two daughters, Abby and Livy!”

Eloisa M., from Converse, Texas, looks up to her Dad and admires his work ethic:

 

“My dad is such a hard-worker, he does what he can to make sure his family is taken care of. I've never seen such devotion as I've seen in my father's heart. He'll work 13-15 hour days sometimes to provide for us. Even now, that all of his children are grown, he still makes sure we are all okay and that if we need anything to call him. I can't put into words all he is or all I see in him. He's a wonderful father! [He is ] the type of father whose presence makes all the difference in the word.”

 

Albert A., from Chino Hills, Calif., honors his Dad’s devotion to all of his kids, including one with special needs:

 

“My dad is special. He is raising three children and one [of] them has Muscular Dystrophy. He works all day as a dentist helping others, then he takes care of his son in the evenings, feeding him and tucking him in at night. All he ever does is give to others but he never takes time out for his self.”

 

Tell us more about your Dad. Is he funny? Does he coach your Little League team? Does he give great advice? Or share with us your favorite part of being a Dad. This week’s winner will walk away with a Massage Heights Father’s Day Escape package (1-Hour Massage with Hot Stone Elevation and FREE Energize Aromatherapy).
