What a great moment at the Phillies game earlier this week. Steve Montforto takes his family to a Phillies game and during the game catches his first foul ball ever. An exciting moment as he celebrates with those around him. Then, like any good dad, he gives the ball to his little girl, 3 year old Emily. She promptly does what any three year old may do, she throws the ball away. Dad has a look of disbelief, and then gives his girl a big bear hug as she realizes that she probably did the wrong thing. It was a touching moment, so much that it has been all over the media, and I am blogging about it as well.
I am tired of Hollywood portraying men as idiots, who are of little or no importance to the family. On the contrary, dads play an important role, and are vital to any healthy family. So let's use this media moment to remind ourselves that dads can make all the difference in the world to any child, just like moms. Way to go Steve!
What a joy it was to see that Dad hug his little girl after she threw the ball away! It was a hug of unwavering love and acceptance.
