FAIRFAX CITY, VA— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Fairfax City, meet Erik.

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 Susanna who nominated Erik of Fairfax City.

What makes your dad extra special?

My dad puts everyone before himself. He would give anything to make people happy and is always bringing joy to a room. He has always pushed me to be the best I can be, and I couldn’t be more thankful to call him my dad. Thanks for all you do!

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

Because he’s the best! He deserves all the recognition for what he does for others.

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