Special Time with Dad

It seems as if moms are always there when a child falls or needs a meal. They are an important part of everyday life. Dads are often away at work. It may seem as if their role in a child's life is not important. This is untrue, and time spent with dad is always more special because there is less of it. A good dad will have a special pastime he does with his child. Sometimes this is done as a family venture, but often what matters is that dad is there. Kite flying is a good example. A windy day is often one spent indoors because the weather might turn bad. A dad who wants to spend special time with his children can take them on a special outing to just fly kites together. It will be a shared experience that will be remembered and cherished throughout both lifetimes.
