    My dad died when I was five and the only thing I remember about him was that I loved him and waited for him at the end of the day..that was over 60 years ago❤

    The man who wrote the postcards was a gem. Very consistent and fair as he wrote to all four.

    Steve Hartman takes me on a journey of all my emotions. I usually have tears in my eyes. The piece he did with his kids made me laugh, cry, and think what a wonderful man he is. Thank you for showing us the kind and good things in life. Bless you, Steve.

    The Fathers of the Bride story got me. My husband died in 2017. My daughter had met and introduced us to a nice young man who was on the verge of "popping the question" when this tragedy occurred. This young man patiently waited a year so my daughter could begin to recover from her loss. When we announced they were engaged, several men who had beeb my husband's friends offered to walk her down the aisle, but she had already made her choice. The week before the wedding, I realized that 17 of our guests were members of a club along with my husband, so I asked her to call them up to have their picture taken with the bride and groom. That was the photo that was in the wedding announcement. A lot of these men had to get in line to have this privilege. I won't forget that bittersweet day.

    The best image of all is that dog in your dad's lap. That dog is in heaven. Oh, and Jeff Glor holding back tears.

    Dear God, Please help me break this addiction of these great videos. Steve Hartman is to blame for the tears, laughter, thoughts and drive to be a better person. This is the kind of addiction I want and need. The world needs more of these type of people and reporters that bring them to us. Steve you have made life so much more to be grateful for and to try harder. Since my dad and I have an okay relationship, I have come to realize that he gave me the lessons that I so many times didn't follow. Now that I am old, my dear dad has become more part of my life now than when he was alive. Thank you Dad and Thank you Steve Hartman bring bringing life to them all. I love and miss you so much. A grateful son. Happy Fathers Day Steve and all the fathers.

    Steve Hartman is an inspiration for everything he does. The poignant father series was especially heartfelt. I might be an old English farmer's wife but I miss my precious dad every day xx
