*walk the floor with their fussy babies, sick kids, or waiting for late teenagers
*don't make excuses when the kid is caught plagiarizing or cheating, but make them take their lumps
*show up and cheer on their kids in any and every activity from sporting events to piano recitals
*show up-- period
*take the kids fishing, camping, to the ballgame, or even just to the dump
*make their kids work, not for money, but because families work together to maintain a home
*coach T-ball and Little League games without thought of winning, just to teach, play, and laugh a lot
*teach kids to drive, tie their shoes, play pitch, and answer a phone correctly
*listen to bedtime prayers, attempt to make ponytails, and sing kids awake in the morning
*make pancakes on Saturday or Sunday mornings

Happy Father's Day to all the terrific Dad's out there!
