'Fantastic, Loving And Patient Father': Father's Day Photos

WARREN, RI—Whether it's through his or her personality, looks, hobbies or a combination of everything, a son or daughter often takes on the qualities of the dad who raised them. With Father's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across Rhode Island to share their "father-son" or "father-daughter" lookalike photos.

It doesn't matter how old the kids are; they'll always be a chip off the old block.

Three years ago, Alissa Norfolk was told she could not get pregnant. Five years later, she became pregnant with their "miracle boy" Oliver. Here's a photo of Oliver and dad Matthew. The family is from Warren, RI.
