My Mom is absolutely the most selfless person you can come across. She has always put my brother and I before herself making sure we had everything we needed and helping us fulfill our dreams. I know whenever I come to her with a problem, even if she doesn’t have the answer, she will do everything in her power to help me figure it out. Even when I get on her absolute last nerve she is always there for me whenever I need her. She represents unconditional love for me. I love you Mom!
Why We ♥Love Our Dads

I love my dad because he works hard for us. I love my dad because he lets me climb things. Also, I love my dad because he’s my dad and because he is kind.
Caroline, Age 8:
I love my dad because he’s the coolest parent, a great cook, and the best hunter. He’s a great hunter and fisherman because he caught 3 fish and killed 2 deer. He’s a cool parent because he collects arrowheads. Arrowheads are the spikey things that go on the top of bows and arrows and spears. He’s a good cook because he shot a rabbit and made it into rabbit balls. I love my dad.
Sallie, Age 10:

Mary Beth, age 13:
I love my dad because he does so much for me. He is always there for me, taught me how to hunt and fish and let’s me bully him all the time.
Andrew, Age 16:
I love my dad because | look up to him and I see him as my role model. He also teaches me to be a better person and a better man. He teaches me many things such as how to build things or use tools, but also how to help others and stay out of trouble. He teaches me many life skills. He also inspires me to provide for others. He is always there for me and has my back and I know if I need advice or help with anything, I can turn to and count on him. That’s why I love my dad.
Hannah Claire, Age 17 :
My Dad and I have a very close relationship, he has always been my person. He is the first person I want to tell exciting news to and the first person I call when something goes wrong. He has always had this deeper understanding of me that no one else has. He pushes me to be the best version of myself and strives to help me achieve a better future than he’s ever had. He would give anything up in order for me to achieve my dreams. My Dad will forever be someone in my life that no one can replace his spot in my heart. I don’t think he will ever really understand the importance he has had in my life and that I will always associate him with being my best friend. I love you Daddy! – Your booger.
We love the diversity and progression of these responses as kids mature. The reasons vary per child but the love is obvious in all the responses. While we recognize that these responses refer to moms and dads, there are so many others that play this role in many children’s lives: be it a step-parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin, sibling, family friend or guardian. I hope each of you feel special and know how much you are truly appreciated. Happy Mother’s and Father’ Day!
