WASHINGTON DC, DC— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Washington DC, meet Clyde Howard.
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 Gio Dixon who nominated Clyde Howard of Washington DC.
What makes your dad extra special?
He listens, doesn't judge and offers advice.
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
My uncle has been there for me when my father was not. Takes a lot to be a father, but he must be a man first.
Happy Father’s Day to Clyde Howard, and thank you for all you do!
