Fathers, don't wait for "the moment" with your sons. Whenever you can say, "I'm proud of you," do it. Whenever you can shake his hand, do it. Whenever you can hug him, do it. And say "I love you" as often as possible. BTW, this is your sign. Do something now. In this moment.

@harmanbrian is a #DGD. He's having a phenomenal 3rd round at @TheMasters today. Go Dawgs!

Good morning @NASAArtemis. Praying for you today.

#prayeroftheday I don't know what to do, and I'm always in the dark/ Living in a powder keg and giving off sparks/ I really need you tonight Songwriter: James Richard Steinman @realjimsteinman
