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 Bob.

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 Michelle who nominated Bob of Enfield.

What makes your dad extra special?

My dad is a hardworking man with a heart of gold. He taught me the value of showing up, staying true and that no matter the circumstance everything will be okay. My dad has changed many lives, given opportunities to those he believed in and finds his happiness in his family. He would go to the ends of the earth for me, my sister, my mother and his grandkids.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

My dad is the type of person who would rather hold the spotlight and shine it on someone else; or use the bulb in another appliance! He doesn’t need the best or the most fancy, he doesn’t need the most shiny and to flash it. But…he deserves it all.

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