ALBANY, CA— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Albany, meet Matthew Harbo.
If you know a dad who sends sweet, silly or thoughtful texts your way, you’re pretty lucky. Texts from Dad have a way of putting a smile on our faces — and this Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the fathers behind the phones!
Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to shine a light on awesome dads and the funny, insightful things they say. This submission comes from Mary Jane Manuel who nominated Matthew Harbo of Albany.
What makes your dad extra special?
Matthew is so good to our daughters, always present for their milestone achievements from walking, first words (which was "Dada"!), to teaching and supporting in golf tournaments, and offering care for a now in remission child with leukemia. Showing up, and being present is the best gift for our children.
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
Although I oftentimes don't see eye to eye on his decisions, his constant is that he has GOD in his heart and his children and girlfriend know this and his good intentions!
Happy Father's Day, Matthew!
Happy Father’s Day to Matthew Harbo, and thank you for all you do!
