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 Shawn Santiago.

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 Anastashia Flora, who nominated Shawn Santiago of Enfield.

What makes your dad extra special?

My dad is so special. He works out of town a lot but when he comes home he plays so much with me and my sister and my brother, we miss him a lot, he is the best dad and so funny with everything he does. We wouldn’t be who we are without you. We love you, daddy.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

Because my dad deserves to know how special he is to all of us.

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