CONCORD, CA— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Concord, meet Cory.
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 Nevaeh, who nominated Cory of Concord.
What makes your dad extra special?
Cory's not my biological dad, but he's my Dad. He stepped up and showed me love when my real one couldn't be around. He's helped mold me into the young lady I'm becoming. I may not always show it, but I love him and am so thankful for him.
Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?
Cory has been through it. But to say I'm proud of who he is today is an understatement. I feel everyone should be recognized and commended on getting through their toughest challenges in life. Thank you for always loving me and making me feel accepted. I'm grateful Mom and I have you and Cadence in our lives.
Happy Father’s Day to Cory, and thank you for all you do!
