"But since becoming a papa myself I've decided to reinvent the wheel. Other than getting an hour or two of extra sleep I try to make the day a celebration of my boys more than me," he continued. "After all, they are the ones who made me a father (no offense to Brenda)."

"In our house Father's Day isn't held in as a high regard as birthdays or Christmas but it does mop the floor of such holidays as St. Patrick's day, Valentine's Day, and the 4th of July," he added. "I try to do fun things for the boys on Father's Day. It's a special day."

He concluded, "Father's Day isn't for me, it's for the people that make me feel like a father."
