Aurora Dad Steps Up 'More Than Ever' Amid Challenges, Family Says

AURORA, IL— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Aurora, meet Salvador.

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 smiles 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 Hazel Ferrer who nominated Salvador of Aurora.

What makes your dad extra special?

Honestly, Sal — a.k.a. Dad — is a smart, caring father of two children. Our mother is in a coma and, without her, Dad steps up like never before to bond and play. He's more understanding than ever. I can’t wait till Dad reads this.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

I believe it would be a nice gesture for him on a day of celebrations.

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