NASHUA, NH— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Nashua, meet Craig DiFillipo.

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 Will & Sofia DiFillipo who nominated Craig DiFillipo of Nashua.

What makes your dad extra special?

Our dad is special because he works so hard for our family and at the same time, spends so much quality time with the both of us. He's been a volunteer coach, Scout leader, shows up for all the school meetings, open houses, games, chorus concerts, and plays.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

Our dad is our hero. He makes us feel special and loved, even when it may be hard to do so. He teaches us about chores, how to budget and the importance of saving enough to give to others. He's teaching us how to be better humans every day by his example.

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