This Father’s Day…

…thank the man in your life. I mean, really, look at him. Touch his face. Give him a kiss, a hug and say carefully the words, THANK YOU.

Because seriously, it’s been one helluva year for the dads.

Thank you for having endured such a tough year.

For being brave for all of us, even when you did not know if you still had a job.

For being strong, even when you worried about how to make things right, for taking care of us.

For being patient and sticking around, and sticking it through, when things got rougher.

And for knowing that despite everything that has happened, your family is still the most important.

So to the 60+ dads I’ve photographed this last year, here’s a little something for you
