Book Summary

Patrick Hempfing in |MoMENts: A Dad Holds On| shares a former CPA turned stay-at-home dad's hilarious and poignant moments as he tries to hang on to his precocious child. Patrick conquers the day-to-day challenges of daddy-daughter chaos while embracing the pockets of love, joy, and happiness that make fatherhood exhilarating. Parenting is a lot like giving birth - there is a lot of pressure, but also tremendous joy - and focused breathing techniques are useful long past the delivery. Although he may wish for an epidural to block the |contractions| of stress and worry, Patrick loves being a father. His stories remind readers to make the most of all the moments, because moms and dads have only a short time to hang onto their precious children.Praise for MoMENts|As the Editor of Suburban Parent Magazines, I would like to extend my thanks for Patrick Hempfing. As a writer for our publications for several years, he has entertained us and our readership with his humorous, witty, and inspiring columns of his life as a dad and husband. His MoMENts column is anticipated each month and always gets a great response.| Mary Ellen Caldwell, Editor, Suburban Parent Magazines |Thank you for creating such compelling work!| Kirsten Flournoy, former Editor, San Diego Family Magazine |Patrick Hempfing writes with honesty and wit about the moments that make the parenting journey worthwhile, delivering wisdom and hope to others on the same path.| Jennifer Jhon, Editor, South Florida Parenting |Houston Family Magazine recently discovered Patrick Hempfing and quickly snatched him up as a regular columnist for our monthly magazine. His vignette portrayals of fatherhood are poignant, insightful, and funny, creating vivid images of moments that make parenting sweet, scary and, ultimately, the most rewarding job a person can undertake. Patrick's MoMENts columns are conversational and effortless, like the casual exchange of daily parental happenings you would enjoy at the park while the kids play on the swings. His work is simply delightful and a valued addition to our monthly content.| Sara Stephens, Managing Editor, Houston Family Magazine and former Editor, Southeast Texas Family Magazine |Patrick, a well-intentioned, loving - but not always perfect - father, beautifully writes with humor and humility about the trials and tribulations of modern-day parenting. He is a refreshing rarity in the publishing world representing the highs and lows of fatherhood, yet his message rings strong with all readers, no matter the gender. There is a little Patrick in us all.| M. L. Ellen Percival, Publisher, Calgary's Child Magazine |Patrick Hempfing's touching reflections on fatherhood's roller coaster of emotions and experiences leave readers connecting with the sweet - and salty - moments he shares with his daughter, Jessie. This is a must-read for any father who truly cherishes every fleeting second he shares with his child.| Beth Shugg, Editor, Carolina Parent |Patrick Hempfing's positive parenting reflection in his MoMENts column is like a breath of fresh air, providing central PA readers with laughter and lessons. Writing from personal experience as a stay-at-home father, his column illuminates the intrinsic value of father involvement. Hempfing's perspective is written with clarity and humor. His MoMENts is undoubtedly destined to be shared with a broader audience - perhaps becoming the book that is taken to after-school sport practices, music lessons, tutoring, etc.| Mari Conners, Editor, About Families
