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 Kaylene Silva who nominated Jorge Silva of Nashua.
What makes your dad extra special?

It’s a shame that he can’t be here with us to see who his children have become and to meet his beautiful first grandbaby, Sofia! He was the most funny and lovable guy you would ever meet.
