#dearoldad

This father's day, we have these men to thank for giving us some of the most talented country singers on the planet. If not for them, folks like Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride and Kelsea Ballerini would not exist. Can you imagine life without them? Stars took to social media to share their love and thanks to the man that meant the most in their lives from the very beginning. They were there, they loved and they taught us how to live, how to be strong and how to be proud, so it's only right that they get a special day all to themselves. Here are some of well wishes country stars wanted to share with dear ol' dad. We hope all dad's had a wonderful father's day.

Carrie Underwood

"Happy Father’s Day to this handsome fella! “You think I’m strong. You think I’m fearless...even when I’m at my weakest. You always see the best in me when I can’t. I wanna be the girl you think I am.” Thanks to all the men out there who lift their little girls up and think they can do no wrong. Thanks to the ones who protect and provide. Thanks to the ones to work hard. You are the first loves of your little girls’ lives! Thanks, Dads! ❤"

Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley

Chase Rice

"He always told me I’d end up like him one day and it always scared the hell out of me. Now I couldn’t be more proud to see him show up in me every day. I got more from him in 22 years than most get in a lifetime. I love you dad, and miss you every day. Happy Father’s Day."

Kelsea Ballerini

Jessie James Decker

"Happy Father’s Day to the best dads I know!! I am so lucky to have you both! Without @spideyparker13 I wouldn’t have known what to look for in my husband and father of my children. You taught me how a daddy and a husband are supposed to be. You were and are the best example I could have asked for with your love and guidance! And @edeck87 you amaze me everyday with your endless love and dedication to our family. You go above and beyond and I am so grateful for you. Can’t wait to raise our wolf pack together and watch them grow until we are old and wrinkly. I am a lucky girl to have you! Happy daddy day!!"

"To the man who taught me how to be strong and what hard work really means.... He put the first guitar I ever played in my hands. He taught me how to go after what you want in life and not look back. How to be passionate about what you do every day, so you’ll never ‘work’ another day in your life. Thank you, Dad. I love you so much. ❤ Happy #FathersDay!"

Dolly Parton

"Happy #FathersDay to all of the wonderful fathers out there, and also to those who aren't with us today! 💗"

"My Dad has always been there for me. From teaching me how to build & fix up houses to helping me build a music career! Thanks for always being supportive of my dream to play music (and for holding my mic stand)! Love you dad! Happy Father’s Day!!!"
