Obviously I’m running a bit later than my normal posting time, but that’s the way it goes on summer weekends.

I looked at many Father’s Day quotes and chose these by Martin Sheen. Any entertainer, who stays married to the same one for more than 50 years, beats alcoholism and raises four sons, Charlie Sheen, and Emilio, Ramon and Renee Estevez, also in entertainment, probably has something worth hearing.

“Obviously, be aware that your actions will speak louder and last longer than your words. A child absorbs through osmosis what the parents are feeling and what they do, far more than what they say.”

“If you have an honest relationship with a child, that is the greatest gift. Lead an honest life and be free.”

“Give them time. Time is really all we have.”

With adult children, “you have to be there for them. You have to support them and make sure they know that they are still loved and cherished and you’re still in their lives and you’re there for them.”

“We never get over our fathers, and we’re not required to. For good or ill, we’re stuck with these guys.”

“The most important thing is that regret is useless and faith is necessary and love is everything.”

I hope you have/had a wonderful Father’s Day!
