Forest Hills Dad 'Has Been There Through All The Ups And Downs'

FOREST HILLS, NY— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Forest Hills, meet Frankie Rivera.

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 Raquel Gaitan who nominated Frankie Rivera of Forest Hills.

What makes your dad extra special?

My stepdad is awesome because he raised me since I was 5 years old and my brother who was 6 years old. I am now 21 and my brother is 22. He's been there for all the ups and downs, especially the headaches we gave him, but he was always there no matter the heartache we gave him. Happy Father’s Day day! Thanks for being the greatest dad to us. We love you very much.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

Cause he’s been through so much with my brother, experienced hurtful things, but he’s never left us. Always put us first.

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