We have all said it more than once: “Daddy!” The magic word, a trumpet capable of calling in reinforcements for any and every situation. Dad. It’s like rubbing a magic lamp, except what is most important aren’t the wishes that he can grant, just the fact that he comes.

Today’s video reminds us that we are all sons and daughters, that who we are has been, in part, a gift, the result of another who has given of themselves for us.

Dad  – Thank you for your example of service and generosity. You help us when we need it most.
