Examples

“His dad was always there for him.”
“A lot of the power for dads comes in the form of modeling. As much as dads can teach their sons directly and guide them in the world, they also provide an example of who their children can aim to be as they grow up, Singley said. “There are going to be the times when as the dad I’m going to screw up,” he said.”
“Happy Father's Day, dad!”
“Dad told me to go out and mow the lawn.”
“Currently replaying in preparation for DAD, and the Josiemance is still as lovely as I remember.”
