Our country lost a great voice this fathers day weekend.

I saw this clip Saturday morning and what struck me most was that all who were interviewed, though they respected his professional career and what a great journalist Tim was, commented more on Tim Russert the man and who he was; what he was passionate about…his faith, his family, his life.

I post this today because there was no other journalist that was equally proud of being a father as he was his professional career. He was a great example and reminder for all of us who are fathers.

Well, I am proud to be a father, for the joys, the opportunities, and responsibilities it brings.

I am proud of my father, and everything he has made me to be.

Thanks dad, happy fathers day.
