Thanks so much for the kind words. I know we’re all trying to be the best dads that we can for our kids.

Having a site like DiscoveringDad.net (and guy like Jeremy running it) has really given us all a haven to share our ideas about fatherhood without really having to hold back.

I don’t know about you guys, but it’s a relief for me to know that there are others that put their families first the way I do – a relief to know there are others out there like me.

I’m looking forward to all of you participating more in the forums and leaving comments on all the articles that go up.

I promise I’ll contribute real quality stuff for you guys for 2009.

Best,
Chris Lopez

Chris is an awesome dude, have emailed back and forth a few times and he walks his talk and epitomizes what he talks about here, and is a fit and busy INVOLVED dad who loves his wife and children and who really seems to have figured out how to have it ALL!

Chris you rock bro, you are an inspiration to me and so many dads out there, reading your article here really moved and inspired me to be, do, have and give more and to be the best dad I can be, and how cool is it you wrote about TIME being THE most important thing we can give our kids.. that is so true our TIME and ATTENTION are the 2 most valauble gifts we can give our kids (or anyone) for sure and to gift our kids with that is HUGE! So passionate am I about this very same topic of TIME with our kids, I wrote about it myself on my blog (ironically) at http://jaredmaidenberg.blogspot.com/2008/08/timewhats-it-worth.html

Also thought you would enjoy this re kids and T-I-M-E http://www.tacmovie.com and

Something for all us Dads to contemplate and act upon!

Here’s to the dads of the world and to being a healthy role model and spending more TIME with our kids in 2009!

Thanks for all you guys are and do!

Cheers,
