Celebrating Local Dads: A Father's Day Special Edition

The role of a father or father figure in a child's life cannot be overstated. They can provide guidance, support, and love that can shape a child's entire future. They have the superpower to instill confidence, self-esteem, and resilience in their children. They can teach a child important life skills, such as how to solve problems, how to communicate effectively, and how to handle difficult situations. By being present and involved in their child's life, a father or father figure can create a strong bond that will last a lifetime. They have a superpower that is immeasurable, and the impact they can have on a child's life is immeasurable.

We honor you! Seeing all the messages and pictures that families shared to celebrate their dads was heartwarming. Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads, of all types, out there!

We also want to congratulate Verna Moss on winning the Father's Day Giveaway hosted by Macaroni KID Monroe-West Monroe! We hope the Dad in your life loves the gift basket.

Special thanks to Bent Creek Knives and Apparel, Ouachita Regional Veterans Association, Sonic (N. 18th St., Monroe), and Jade Garden.

I wouldn't be the person I am today without your support and influence in my life. Thank you for never giving up on me! I can't thank you enough for showing me the unconditional love of a father! My mom is lucky to have someone like you.
Thank you for loving her the way she deserves to be loved.
