Let me say for now that we knew once the Creation was broken, true fathering would be much more lacking than mothering. Don’t misunderstand me, both are needed- but an emphasis on fathering is necessary because of the enormity of its absence

No man can protect you like your father, No women can love you like your mother.

They left my dad in the room to tell him first. When I came back in, I saw his face. I knew then. It was kind of heartbreaking.

The one thing I wanted most in life was for my dad to see me coaching in the Final Four. He won’t get to see me, but he’ll have a seat from above.

I walked out of his room sure I’d said the right thing maybe not as a father but as a Dad. I’d said the right thing, for once in my life.

A best friend is the only one that walks into your life when the world has walked out.

I think my dad was more upset about the fine and mom was more upset because I’m not supposed to get angry on television like that.

Be more than a father, be a dad. Be more than a figure, be an example.

He touched the screen as if trying to reach through with his hand. “You’re a wonderful young lady. I don’t tell you that often enough. You remind me so much of your mother. She’d be proud. And Grandpa Tom” –he chuckled– “he always said you’d be the most powerful voice in our family. You’re going...

He’s great to talk to. He’s like my second dad.

…some nights I’d sneak out and listen to the radio in my Dad’s old Chevy – children need solitude – they don’t teach that in school…

Listen to me, kitten. Win or lose, you’ll always be a princess to me.

The thaw came and the snow melted away and so did my dad. ’til there wasn’t nothing left.

Honestly, I’d rather be anywhere else. Even home, where my dad begins almost every conversation with, “You should lose the black clothes and wear something with color.” Puh-lease. Like I want to look like every Barbie clone in Hell High, a.k.a. Oklahoma’s insignificant Haloway High School. Ironically, Dad doesn’t appreciate the bright blue streaks in...

drew the pistol and shot her dad in the back as he was going down the hallway to the front door.

Between the four years when you murdered my dad and now … yeah, I grew a lot.

My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.

Yeah, Dad can go and write a script, but if I did something else, I’d produce.

I’m justthe reason they married.Mum saysI was a surprise.Dad saysI was an accident.Truth is …I am their mistake.

I couldn’t have pulled it off if you hadn’t have pulled out all those years ago. So thanks, dad.

My dad always used to tell me __________________. My dad never told me anything. He had nothing to say, and even less to say to me.

My name is Monika Ora Moniker, but you can call me MOM. Or dad will do just fine.

My dad was born poor, made a fortune during his life, and then died suddenly—murdered by his only son, leaving his vast estate to a daughter I didn’t know he had.

A father and son walked into a bar, and the bartender didn’t serve either because the one didn’t look old enough. And he was right. Who becomes a dad in middle school?

We fell in love like two medium pizzas in one large stomach. I wish dad would have saved a few slices for us.

If you are a good parent, please continue to be a good one. But if you are bad parent, today is a great new beginning for you to start a great new chapter of parenthood.

My love is tube shaped. Don’t let your dad stick his dick in it.

Joshie has always told Post Human Services Staff to keep a diary, to remember who we were because every moment, our brains and synapses are being rebuilt and rewired with maddening disregard for our personalities, so that each year, each month, each day, we transfer into a different person, an utterly unfaithful iteration of our...

Most kids start talking by age two. I didn’t say a word until I was twelve. I was just angry and defiant I guess. My first word wasn’t “Mom” or “Dad.” It was “No.

Even though my mom and dad were divorced, she was still there, she was still by his side (in the hospital).

People tell me I look like my father. I’ve never seen my dad, so does that mean I look invisible?

My dad once said… “Some friends are like “rubber wrappers”; they bind with you safely but get weaker when you stretch them too much”. Treat your friends with care, else the elasticity of their love for you may not go lasting!

I’m very close to my dad. He’s about six inches away right now and snoring in my ears.

Most of the world knows him as the dad on Full House , but I know him as this funny, sick comedian. He and Andrew Dice Clay were the two dirty, hilarious comedians when I was growing up.

His dad and him, all summer long, are in the gym two or three times a week working on his game. He stays after practice a good half hour to 45 minutes just on his shooting drills alone. He’s a kid that’s self-motivated, he works hard and everything that’s happened for him right now, he...

I signed with the Milwaukee Braves for three-thousand dollars. That bothered my dad at the time because he didn’t have that kind of dough. But he eventually scraped it up.

(Don Fey had a large rubber stamp that said “bullshit,” which was and is awesome.)

My Dad has been a feminist, way before I learnt how to spell the word.

Beautiful is the man who leaves a legacy that of shared love and life. It is he who transfers meaning, assigns significance and conveys in his loving touch the fine art and gentle shaping of a life. This man shall be called, Father.

All I ever knew was that my dad was a pilot of an F-106; he was killed because his ejection seat didn’t work. And I guess that’s the way it always was. I was so little when he died. I didn’t ask a lot of questions.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad? No, that wasn’t it at all. Well, they did do that, perhaps, but they also allowed you to become the person, and the writer, that you had it in you to be.

I think the next step is to try to get his mom and dad down [to U.Va.], probably for a football weekend. Then everyone will have seen it . . . and then I think you’re in a more serious place.

That’s such bullshit, Mythology repeated by parents because it lets them force their kids into sports and push them too hard by pretending that in the end it will pay off with the holy scholarship. You know how many kids get a free ride? Hardly any. Like, maybe fourteen.’ -Finn (165)

I didn’t know that my mom and dad and my sister were sneaking into town,

My Dad gave me wings to my DREAMS. – Merlin Thomas

There is no substitute for your impassioned prayers on behalf of your children

Dad was in position with having to move on. He and Hatfield struck up a relationship, had a lot of the same life experiences, and they had a friendship that continued until the day Dad died.

If you love your dad, it’s tough when he dies. If you don’t like your dad, it’s tough when he dies. Because you lose that guy. Whatever you didn’t get, you miss. And what you did get, you miss.

She loved him, even though it was so hard to love anybody else after loving my dad. I think I knew this before she did.

I want to be a dad. Sorry, I’m dyslexic. I meant to write dad.
