21 Inspiring Father’s Day Quotes!

Well, I think the most underrated day ever must be father’s day. I don’t understand why. If mothers are important, so are fathers right? For some, their fathers might be slightly a little more of everything than their mothers. Gone the days where the responsibilities are put solely on the poor mothers. I am certainly proud and honored that we live in an era where fathers are trying to get more involved into their children’s life right from the start. But, even if we do ended up with the old fashioned dads, that’s okay. Try including him into your crazy lifestyle once in a while and he would definitely appreciate the gesture especially on big days like this.

This was my second year being quarantined with my dad. It is definitely not an ideal situation for any of us but being in a lockdown with him, says a lot about him. He is nothing like my mom. My dad can be very picky and stubborn at times. Now, I certainly understand where I got my special traits from because we don’t really get along in a lot of things. We are polar opposites when it comes to life and the way of living. But, despite our differences, we do have fun and that’s all that matters. I’m glad we can’t choose our parents because if that was possible, I would have been a wild child after all.

With that on mind and after my exhaustive search of hundreds over quotes, I can finally say that I’ve narrowed them down to these 21 inspiring father’s day quotes to keep celebrating all our fathers out there. Hopefully any one of the 21 quotes that I’ve listed (if not all) managed to put a smile on your face knowing how lucky you are to have a father in your life.
