Happy Fathers Day to everyone who qualifies for these truly amazing blessings. Please, know there is absolutely no need to spend money on Father's Day. Share the lasting gift of LOVE.

While most dads around the country are going to be grilling out in their back yards on Father's Day, others might be working and therefore missing these family events and children's milestones, so keep trying to make the most of that special time together: A sporting DaD like my PAPI would be watching baseball, while others will be getting ready for @NBA.
