Michelle Obama, Barack Obama’s wife, shared a 'cool' picture with her father and penned a loving note in his tribute. She said that as Father’s Day approaches near, she is thinking a lot about her dad. The former First Lady then listed things, such as her father’s baritone voice, his laugh, and ability to set the right mood in a room by playing the perfect record, which she misses dearly.

The note on her heartwarming post reads, “It’s almost #FathersDay, so I’m thinking a lot about my dad: his baritone voice, his laugh that filled up the room, the way he always knew how to set the right mood by spinning up the perfect record. My father gave great advice, taught me the value of hard work, encouraged me to ask questions, and always gave me the space to do so.”

She added, “I always thought he was so cool - just look at this photo! I’d love to hear about the fathers in your life who’ve helped you become who you are today - what qualities you value in them, what makes them unique, and what the best advice they’ve given you has been. #Fatherhood.”

Father’s Day will fall this year on June 20 (Sunday). Celebrated to honour paternal bonds and the huge role fathers play in shaping our lives, this day is a perfect opportunity for people to express how much their dads mean to them and tell him that he is a person they will always look up to.
