NEW LENOX, IL— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. New Lenox, meet Leandro.

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!

What makes your dad extra special?

My daddy is special because he has his own business, is big and strong, is super funny and is a great role model.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

He is a giver and it would be nice to see my daddy appreciated for what he does for everyone in my family and for his clients from DroPro fitness.

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