    My dad is the best because he taught me how to know that no one is more important than the next person.  He treated a janitor in a school the same as he would the owner of a big company.  He taught me to be myself and to love.  Growing up – - no matter what was going on – - good or bad – - I knew I was loved - –  isn’t that the most important?

    “I have the best dad in the world because he takes me out for dates. He tells the best stories in the world, called ultra world. He is a great dad to me and my little brother and little sister.”

    My daddy is the best!  We go on dates together.  When he gets home from work, he hugs and kisses me 5 times.  He plays outside with me, and throws me HIGH in the air!!  When i ask my daddy to catch lightning bugs with me, he always says, “YES”

    Asher (age 3)
    My dad lets me work with him in the garage, and we build things together. He gives the best high fives, and is proud of me. At night, my dad gives me a flash light when i go to bed (scared of the dark).  I love going to starbucks with my dad.  I like being with him, and i love him

    OUR Dad is the BEST Dad there is!!

    Well, my dad is no longer living. He was a father of 7 and he passed away when I was 15. But, one of my favorite memories of him is when he taught me and a few of my siblings how to play the violin. There was a Scandinavian Festival playing in our town and he and I played our violins and we also sang ‘Children of the Heavenly Father’ in Swedish. Favorite memory of all time!

    I have to give a big kudos to my husband, father to our four children. What I love most about him is that he teaches our children good life lessons and incorporates it with the Bible, after all, our children are His and He wrote the best instructed “book of life” there is!

    I love my dad, my dad is the BEST! I have always liked making movies and acting in plays. He’s never given up on me no matter how long it takes to make my movie. (He’s always the cinematographer.) Recently, I’ve learned to play chess. You don’t know how much FUN I have had with him doing that. He’s always sweet and is always sees that new film I want to see. I LOVE MY DAD!

    My dad is the BEST. He has always supported my dreams and my passions even when they seem unrealistic. When I was younger I wanted to be a famous actress on the stage. I was always participating in community theater and similar activities. In sixth grade, Dad and I auditioned together to be in a play called The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. He helped me choose my audition song and gave me as many tips as he could on how to be the best I could be. We both ended up getting minor roles. So a few times a week for about two or three months Dad and I had to drive about half an hour to get to rehearsal for this play. In the car we would run lines with each other and talk about the fun we’d been having together. After rehearsals we would often stop for dinner at a restaurant called Friendly’s and he would let me choose whatever I wanted off the menu. Spending so much one-on-one time with my dad was a very special opportunity and it brought us much closer than we’d ever been before. That’s just one example of many, though, of how supportive, loving, and fun my dad can be. He truly is the BEST DAD EVER.
