Happy Father's Day!

The MOMocrats wish all of you dads out there a Happy Father's Day! In addition to our own fathers, husbands and partners, we wish to honor:

All the dads who sacrifice time with their families to work hard and bring home the bacon and the organic eggplant;

All the dads who sacrificed their careers to stay home and take care of their kids so mom can pursue her dreams;

All the dads who change diapers, walk the floor at night with a colicky baby, push jogging strollers, and other things their own dads never dreamed of doing;

All the dads who coach soccer, little league, Mathletes, or ballet;

All the dads who show their sons that being a "feminist" doesn't necessarily mean being female;

All the dads who show their little girls that gentleness is the the greatest strength that a man can have;

All the dads who run for office, vote, donate money and time, blog, and report the truth this election season so our kids have a brighter future;

All the dads who serve in the armed services, police forces, and fire stations, putting themselves in harm's way so that we can all feel safer;

All the dads who work for social justice, who defend the constitution and the ideals this country was founded on;

All the dads who were there for us when it counted, and let us go when it was our time to spread our wings;

All the dads who passed on before we were finished loving them and learning from them;
