Joliet Dad 'Is Always There To Listen & Lend A Helping Hand!'

JOLIET, IL? Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Joliet, meet Paul Thompson.

If you know a dad who sends sweet, silly or thoughtful texts your way, you?re pretty lucky. Texts from Dad have a way of putting a smile on our faces ? and this Father?s Day, we?re celebrating the fathers behind the phones!

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to shine a light on awesome dads and the funny, insightful things they say. This submission comes from Marichu Thompson who nominated Paul Thompson of Joliet.

What makes your dad extra special?

My daddy is the best father a daughter [or] son to have! Whenever anyone ? and I mean anyone needs or wants anything ? he?s there front and center! He?s an electrician and Vet! He doesn?t judge you and understand life?s ups and downs. My daddy is always there to listen and lend a helping hand! He thinks of others before himself! If it wasn?t for my dad, I wouldn?t be the person I am today!

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

He?s so understanding and thinks of everyone else before himself! He?s the best!

Happy Father?s Day to Paul Thompson, and thank you for all you do!
