MILFORD, CT— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Milford, meet Lekan Tejuoso.

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 Layo, Lara and Lekan III who nominated Lekan Tejuoso of Milford.

What makes your dad extra special?

Our dad is a great cook and loves to grill. He gives us 3 helpful hints on cooking and great advice on how to stay out of trouble. He says, "Keep God as the head of your life, study hard, ask your teachers questions even if you think it is a silly question and always present yourself in a respectful manner. And don’t stay out past curfew." Lol.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

Because he is the Best Dad Ever! ❤️

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