\"17<\/p>\n

There’s no better time than Father’s Day to reflect on how awesome\u00a0Dads are. Our own Dads. Our kids’ Dads. Our Dad-In-Laws. All the Dads!<\/p>\n

To celebrate the total whiz-bang awesomeness of Dads, we’ve put together a collection of World Greatest Dad stories from around the world that will make you laugh, cry and – dare we say it –\u00a0cringe.<\/p>\n

Do you know a Dad who’s winning? Tell us all about it in the comments!<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Dad Walks Daughter To School Every Single Day<\/h2>\n

This Florida Dad walked his daughter to school hand-in-hand every single day from Pre-Kindergarten age 4 through to the end of Year 8. That’s 10 years or 1,650 days of walking together.<\/p>\n

They say children need your time more\u00a0than your money – and this is a remarkable example of that theory put into action.<\/p>\n

2. Letter To Daughter From The Make Up Aisle<\/h2>\n

This letter from Dad is what every young girl needs to hear – that makeup doesn’t define your worthiness\u00a0and that beauty comes from the inside.<\/p>\n

His daughter is currently only four, but he plans to read it to her when she grows up and finds herself in the make up aisle.<\/p>\n

3. Dad Recreates\u00a0Daughter’s Internet Selfies<\/h2>\n

It’s a gutsy move, but when this Dad\u00a0discovered pouty\u00a0selfies of his daughter online, he figured he’d take a different approach to simply saying ‘stop’ and instead\u00a0recreated himself in the same poses.<\/p>\n

Who’s more embarrassing? You be the judge.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Dad Cries Happy Tears After Daughter Gets To Meet One Direction<\/h2>\n

7. Dad Carries Son 29km To\u00a0School\u00a0Every Day<\/h2>\n

Get your tissues ready.<\/p>\n

When this Dad learnt that the local schools wouldn’t educate his son, who has a physical disability that renders him unable to walk, he found a school 18 miles (29 km) away and carried him there and home every day.<\/p>\n

It was such an extraordinary act of love that the media attention resulted in the Chinese government arranging an apartment for the single Dad and his son located closer to the school.<\/p>\n

What a legend.<\/p>\n
