What do you say we give dad a turn for Father’s Day?!

Dad.  Appa.  Babba.  Papa.  Bappo.  Pai.   I love how every language has their own word for Dad.  But no matter how many ways there are to say it, all dad’s possess the same super powers.

They have the ability to call out our greatness like no one else.

They give us a sense of identity when they wrap their arm around us and say “You belong.”

And when dad believes you can do something, you are inspired to believe it too.

The degree of influence that dads hold in our lives is so intense that we either spend our lives trying to heal from it or spread our wings and fly with it.  I’ve gone through much in my life, but my most intense journey of all has been the relationship with my Korean ahba.  He and I have worked for years to find healing with each other, and I count our relationship as one of the most precious gifts in my life.  I am so thankful we never gave up on each other.

As I watch Brian with our kids, I know they see dad’s imperfections.  They are moved with how quick he is to ask them for forgiveness when he is at fault.  And he calls them to a greater place of challenge than anyone else.  But he is also the first to embrace them in weakness.  I see all these dynamics, and it is no wonder that the kids long to shadow him–reflect him.

0100-Fathers Day Photo Tips

Becoming a dad must be one of the scariest and most exhilarating commitments a man ever makes in life.  For Father’s Day, I want to honor all the dad’s who renew that commitment every day, who strive to not cut corners, who look their kids in the eye and see them, and work harder than anyone will ever know.  Their road is often lonely.  Their burden can be overwhelming.  But they still choose to push forward.  And for all of us who have experienced the kind of dad who hasn’t given up…well, I would bet that we could all testify that dad’s perseverance has made all the difference.
