Default World's Best Dad

Well, some of you might know that I am a special ed teacher. Today I met the new principal at my school. In our employee meeting he read us the following text from sports illustrated and we watched the short video. Please watch this. It is just a reminder in life of things we CAN do.

I try to be a good father. Give my kids mulligans. Work nights to pay For their text messaging. Take them to swimsuit shoots.

But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck.

Eighty-five times he

Why does it matter if that's a repost? This kind of story can be posted over a million times and would still hold more substance than 90% of crap in internet forums. to the OP and whoever reposts this in the future. Very inspiring and yeah, this makes me feel like less of a dad compared to that guy
