Happy Father’s Day to all the "Dads" out there.
The song “Hero” by Mariah Carey takes on many meanings, but to me, a dad is one of those original heroes Mariah is talking about in this song. A lot of children growing up in the past, present or future get to enjoy that first hero in their life and for most that “hero” is their father.
This song also declares that even though people may feel discouraged or down at times; they are "heroes" if they look inside themselves and see their own inner strength; in time, it will help them "find the way".
For those fortunate enough to still have dad around, let him know just how much you love and respect him while you still can. And for those of us who have lost our dads, we still hold a special place in our heart and soul for him and the good times as well as the fond memories linger on and tend to become even stronger on Father’s Day.
Happy Father's Day!
