Happy Father's Day To James West

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — Whether it's through their personalities, looks, hobbies, or a combination of everything, children become a reflection of the men who raised them.

With Father's Day 2021 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers to share their father-daughter and father-son photos. Happy Father's Day!

James West submitted the following for dad James West:

Why he is special: My Father has always been there for me and through thick and thin. He is someone I've learned so much from throughout the years.

Message: Dad, thanks for all you do! I love you and want to say thank you for making me the man I am today. You've always been there for me when I needed you. Even when I was a brat in my teenage years. You have taught me what it is, not only how to be a man, and but a good human. You are my shining light and I hope to burn as bright as you. Thankyou and love you Dad!
