ELMHURST, IL— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Elmhurst, meet Thom.
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 Caitlin who nominated Thom of Elmhurst.
What makes your dad extra special?
My dad had the kindest heart. He would offer strangers waiting for the bus a cold water bottle in the summertime just because.
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
My dad passed away in April and we have all lost a light in our lives. His humor and laughter will be missed but lives on through his loving family.
Happy Father’s Day to Thom, and thank you for all you do!
