DANBURY, CT— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Danbury, meet Justin Machado.

If you know a dad who sends sweet, silly or thoughtful texts your way, you’re pretty lucky. Texts from Dad have a way of putting a smile on our faces — and this Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the fathers behind the phones!

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to shine a light on awesome dads and the funny, insightful things they say. This submission comes from Pam McHenry who nominated Justin Machado of Danbury.

What makes your dad extra special?

I am nominating my son Justin. He is the husband of Brittany and the father of Myah! Myah is 2.5 years old, and the day she was born he has been a completely hands-on dad. From breakfast every morning to evening bath time, to art work projects together, swim lessons, yard work, you name it, they do it together! He is a great husband and father, and I couldn’t be prouder.💕

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

He works hard all day but still is there for his girls!

Happy Father’s Day to Justin Machado, and thank you for all you do!
