It’s great to be a dad. It’s greater when you bond with your kids. They are your future. They are the bigger picture of you in years to come. No matter how highly placed, you are somebody’s dad, who craves for your attention and love. This weekend, let’s try to bond with our kids. It’s vital.

Former VP shared this on twitter last year’s Father’s Day, “My daughters give me so much happiness. I’m proud to be a father today and always.”
