A joke and a coin…
“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around…
“But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years!”
I’m not sure who said it, but I love that joke. And isn’t it true? It isn’t until adulthood that we realize how special and wise our dads are…
Now that I’m a dad myself, I’m “all in.”
There is nothing I love more than having Ava crawl up next to me to cuddle…
Or Dominic…
Or my youngest Luke…
So yep… I’m shamelessly promoting something called a “Great Dad Coin.” You can read about it and order it here. I have one, and can tell you that as a Father, I LOVE IT! (Be sure to order it today if you want it to arrive in time for Father’s Day next weekend!)
My favorite thing about the coin is the symbolism. It has the numbers 2-4-7-3-6-5 and the words “magna pater” written on it.
If you feel a shred of what I feel about my dad and you want to find something special and give your dad a heartfelt gift on Father’s Day, keep reading…
Now,I know it’s tough to come up with presents for dads, but that’s not the real reason I’m promoting the coin…
See, I agree with Margaret Mead, who said, “The supreme test of any civilization is whether or not it can teach men to be good fathers.”
As a civilization, we’ve got a long way to go. About 40 percent of kids grow up without fathers under the same roof.
That’s the real reason I’m “shamelessly” promoting the coin… because I want to support a nonprofit that helps dads become better fathers.
And I’ll be completely honest… I’m not really ashamed. I have three children and a fourth on the way, and this is the type of gift I would like to get from my kids.
In fact, nothing would make me more proud than to know that my kids think I’m a great dad!
(And yes, I’m ordering one for my dad!)
Be sure to order a coin this weekend – right now – to get it in time for Father’s Day.
