How many instances of c are there in:
Father’s Day: the chance to spoil the big guy while lining the pockets of retailers by buying a load of tat.
‘It’s just another day’, I’ve always thought, especially as my old man doesn’t even really appreciate Christmas let alone Father’s Day.
‘Don’t be daft,’ comes the regular palm-off from him whenever I ask what he’d like for any special occasion. So it’s safe to say I’ve never given this gimmick a second thought.
On June 17, I’ll be ticking off another first: My first Father’s Day as a daddy instead of a son or grandson.
 I’m actually looking forward to it.
While my dad may not be the sentimental type, I certainly am. I’m sure I’ve still got birthday cards from the past 10 years sitting in my cupboard.
With my fiancee always one to make a fuss, I know I’m going to have a first Father’s Day to remember.
My seven-month-old daughter may not have bought me the gift and card I will receive, or even know what is going on, waking up on Sunday will still be a proud moment.
I’ll be out there, chest puffed out, with a swagger Danny Dyer would be impressed by. All because, for the first time in my life, I’m the daddy.
Over the past seven months, my life has completely changed for the better – apart from the grey coming from stress, because the age-old cliches have rung true.
Every morning that I head to work with a smile from my little’un sets me up for a great day. Then her excitement on my return is a welcome distraction from the long commute.
I used to look forward to the weekend for a drinking session. Nowadays it’s a baby swimming session that tops the agenda.
The love for my daughter and our little family will be felt in abundance on Sunday and it’ll be a lovely moment and memory for me.
To all the dads out there, we all know we are loved all year round, but for this day, just sit back, relax and take in all the praise that comes our way.
Also, use it to your advantage and take control of the TV for the World Cup.
