Adventure, Love And Loyalty: Novato Father's Day Photo

NOVATO, CA — Sons and daughters become a reflection of the men who raise them. With Father's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across California to share photos of their dads, whether the father figure in their life is their biological dad, stepdad or granddad.

Novato resident and Patch reader Desha Brand sent this photo of her family last year at the Grand Canyon. She and her children, Savannah, Madison and Jake Brand, wish their husband and father, Joel Brand, a happy Father's Day.

"Joel brings us adventure, love and loyalty," she wrote. "We love you. Happy Father's Day!"

Happy Father's Day, Joel!

It's your turn, Patch readers. Share your favorite photos with dad by sending them to kristina.houck@patch.com. Be sure to include a nice message for your loved one, as well as the city/location of the photo and the date it was taken.
