Recently I came across this memoir written by my dad about his experiences of being a father. It brought back a flood of warm childhood memories for me of happy days shared together. During this celebration of Father’s Day, I thought you would enjoy reading his reflections.
I was delighted when the JDFI president asked if I would undertake this month’s newsletter. As the daughter of Jim and Shirley Dobson, it’s my privilege to bring warm greetings from my family and everyone at the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute. I thought I would share something truly special with you during this spring season while we’re between holidays and other significant occasions. Of the hundreds of monthly ministry newsletters that my dad wrote through the decades, there were certainly some that stood out from the rest. Perhaps you’re thinking of one right now that impacted you in a significant way.

We have chosen to devote the second part of the newsletter this month to mothers around the world. It features an article published with permission from Taste of the South magazine, and was written by Betty Terry. It caught the attention of our daughter, Danae Dobson, who is proud of our southern heritage and its culinary traditions.
