For Fathers Day, Give the Gift of Life
Submitted by Diego Gutierrez on Thu, 2007-06-14 12:54.
Every year as we approach Father's Day, I always tell my wife not go out and buy me a gift. Perhaps it's just that I feel I have been given so much already.
When people ask me what I would do if I won the lottery, I realize that I have won the lottery three times already—those being Mia, Lina and Javi, my children. I have been blessed beyond my wildest dreams, but I also know there are other fathers around the world who aren't as fortunate. I love the thought of us playing a part in giving a father safety for his children through a bed net. I think of the way he would feel at night, knowing his child is safe from malaria.
When I think of that, I don't need any other gift. What could be better than giving the gift of life to another father? This Father’s day, help us do just that. Send a net, save a life, honor your father today.
