in honour of the just passed fathers day......

Dear Michael,
Love you heaps and really respect the father you have always been to all our brood of lovely children...you are admirable in every way and I am proud to share the job of parenting with you and I can honestly say I have learnt a great deal from you too!

Hope you find the following quotes humorous and/or insightful!!
