Dear dad who parents a child with a disability, Happy Father’s Day.

Transcription:

Dear dad who parents a child with a disability,

Today we celebrate you.

Thank you for doing whatever it takes to help provide for your family.

For stepping in when heavy medical equipment needs to be carried.

For making your kids laugh with your incredibly corny dad jokes.

For providing accessibility for your child in an inaccessible world.

For the gentleness and encouragement you give us every day.

For the hidden tears nobody knows about that reflect how much you care.

For your steady, unwavering presence.

For the way only you can love your child.

Thank you for being you.
