My Papito: Father's Day Photos

Patch wants to showcase your favorite photo of Pops.

With a steady hand and a warm heart, fathers guide us through the joys and sorrows of life. Each June, we set aside one day to honor our dads and Patch is gathering photos for a California tribute.

In Walnut Creek, we've received a photo of Mauricio Luna and baby Danny Tenzing Luna. Danny's message to his father is heartfelt, "My papito, Mauricio always has my back. Happy Father's Day! Love Danny"

This photo was submitted by Danny and his mom, Dechen Lama-Luna. Danny was less than a year old when this photo was taken, back when the family lived in Pleasant Hill. Now 15-years-old, Danny is over 6 ft. tall and hovers over his papito.

Patch readers, if you would like to honor your father, daddy, dad, papito, papa, pops - whatever your cherished name for the first man in your life, email your photo to autumn.johnson@patch.com, along with the name of the community where you live and where you dad lives, if it's different. There's no age limit.

And Happy Father's Day!
