Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you. - Paul

Memories and traditions. 

One of the most famous dad lines that I often here is "when I was a young boy/man"... and a dramatic story about running through the snow for many miles to get to school, or running up a tree to steal some fruit just to prank the neighbor, or doing something naughty to a sibling would come about. My dad STILL tells stories like this. 

When I meet dads at the school where I work, they'll say, "I remember when I was a kid we did (or didn't) do that...". These stories preserve family histories and teach the future generations to be young and live fully.

Katzy says to me, "I can't wait till we have a boy so we can sign him up for little league and football!". Why? Because he played it as well. (And no I'm not preggo yet).

Memories and traditions.

Dads are like that. They're all about making memories. Continuing traditions. Imparting who they are into their own kids in hopes that one day, maybe, just maybe their child will acheive something greater than they did at the same age.

Dads are awesome like that. 

The passing on of memories and traditions never get old. I recently watched a documentary on Japanese sword making. The owner of the shop was the great great great great.............GREAT grandchild of an ancient swordsmith who's dream was to pass on his gifts and talents onto his son and his son's son and so forth. This tradition continues to live on and I believe it will for many more years to come. 

Dads pass on memories and traditions from generation to generation. Family histories are shared and cherished because of these dads.

So thanks DADS for treasuring your stories and experiences. Its from those that we have lessons and wisdom for life.
