I didn't grow up knowing my dad.
He and my mom divorced when I was only two and he wasn't part of our lives.
My mother never remarried until I was an adult.
My grandfather was the father-figure in my life...
and I am so incredibly lucky for that.
Like so many of these Father's Day Compendium books referred to...
he really was my HERO...in so many different ways.

A great Dad is a man who can teach his children with compassion and in a positive way. I'm so thankful for my Dad and my husband, who is a wonderful Dad to our three little boys.
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave today [01 Jun 10:15am GMT]. Thanks, Maria
Thank you for introducing me to the Compendium site. Wow they have beautiful products. I think my favorite are the diaries and journals. I LOVE the "Care Everyday" Journal.
I am IN LOVE with everything on Pen N'Paperflowers, and have been following your blog and your Facebook page for a few months now! You rock! So glad I found you! :)
Being an exceptional Father requires a man to lead his children by example; showing strength, vulnerability, happiness, sadness, compassion, empathy, determination, drive, love, and above all INTEGRITY.

An exceptional dad to me is a dad that doesn't mind spending an extra hour on a project because his little helpers want to be just like him.
fan on facebook!
I would love to have the his life journal...what a great keepsake!
I have "liked" you on Facebook, but really I LOVE you! :)
I would have to say that the comment above by Renee literally takes the words out of my mouth! I feel so blessed to have a father who led his life just like that.
My favorite product hands down is the book "She" by Kobi Yamada. I am inspired by it daily as it sits right in the center of a shelf in my studio. It's brilliant and beautiful!
I like "live inspired" on fb. Thanks for the great find!!
i like pen n' paper on facebook... of course! ;-)
a dad teaches his children how to love their mother! :-)
oh man... I LOVE the '5' book! LOVE IT!!!
I am absolutely IN LOVE with all of compendium's stuff! I think all of us need a boost everyday and what a gorgeous way to display it too.
What makes a man an exceptional dad is becoming an active part of child's life, not because of chance but because of choice.
I "like" the Live Inspired page on facebook!
I love your page on facebook.....awesome things!
My favorite are the lunchbox cards with the windows...my kid's love to see them in their lunch box. Their friends even ask if their mom can send extra! ;-)
I love that my husband has taken the extra time and effort to ensure a relationship with our children....being deployed can take it's toll on any family and it's a tough job to make that relationship last and work. He's earned more than one gold star as a daddy!! He's also very supportive of me being "daddy" while he's away....
I am a fan of pen n paper flowers
My step father is an exceptional father because he stepped in and became a father to me and my sister and has continued to be a great father and now the best grandfather to our children.
