ENFIELD, CT— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Enfield, meet Casey Furey.

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 Asher + Mama who nominated Casey Furey of Enfield.

What makes your dad extra special?

He gives me the best belly laughs. I love being silly with my Dada. He plays outside with me and taught me how to go boom with our fists. Now he always does it for me when I ask “Boom.”

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

My Dada works long days to take care of us and me and Mama just want to show how much we appreciate him, not just on Father’s Day but every day. He’s the silliest goose ever and watches Blippi with me after he gets home from work. I meet him right at the door!!! We eat snacks and cuddle on the couch together. I love watching him mow the lawn. I wanna be just like daddy!

Happy Father’s Day to Casey Furey, and thank you for all you do!
