will be a lot of toasts and breakfast in bed if you're lucky for dad this weekend and some will be sharing memories with dad. >> natalie, al and i all sat down to talk about our dads and what their love means to us. ♪ >> my dad was career military. he served for, i think, 24 years. he was always every two or three years, we were relocated, moved around a lot. and my dad was away a lot. but whenever he came home, it was always, you knew dad was home. the king of the household, here's dad. we were always on our best behavior. as a military father he was strict. especially as a hispanic military father, very strict. but my father loves having a good time. still to this day, there's no one who loves a roller coaster more, and he loves the thrill of adventure and travel. i remember growing up as a kid we decided we were moving to panama from new jersey. and my dad is like, let's drive there. he really wanted us to open our eyes to, you know, to all that was out there and the possibilities. 14 years ago my father had a stroke at 51. he nearly died. and it was three months before my wedding. at that time they weren't sure he was going to be able to walk me down the aisle. he showed the strength. he kept saying every day. i'm going to be there. i'm going to walk you down the aisle. needless to say it made for a very emotional wedding. but i'm so lucky and blessed that god spared him on that day. you know, he's been able to see his grandkids. 14 years later he's in perfect health, and you would never know. that's whaexactly who my dad is he's is survivor and someone who says, i'm going to take that knock and i'm going to come back better and stronger. >> my dad was in the mining business. and one thing that i always remember and kind of laugh about is he would go away on business trips. i knew that other friends i had would have dads that would go on business trips and come back and bring some kind of toy from the toy store. my dad always brought us rocks and would explain the geology of, you know, this particular stone or whatever. and i remember at the time thinking, i would probably rather have a packaged toy. it was just an example of the way my dad was always trying to teach us. and he always pushed us to be our best. he believed in us, and he had high expectations for us. when i was 16 years old my dad had a heart attack and passed away. i was just ending my junior year of high school. and my whole world changed. i just kind of look at that as the key moment in my life. there was oh when we had my dadd then everything that happened afterwards. i think when you lose someone really young, it just kind of gives you a different view of the world. i really, you know, i still feel the pain. i still remember that pain. he put a lot of love into our family. ♪ he is still missed just as much as the day we lost him. i would love to tell my father happy father's day. i would want him to know that we're all okay and his kids still love him and still miss him. >> my father was a bus driver, and he would take me on the bus with him when i was off from school and i would go to the depositi depot and hang out. it was fun. i mean, he was a very sharp dresser. he had great speaking voice. he had a great smile. and he was a great dad in that he was very openly affectionate, big hugger, kisser. he loved everybody. everybody loved him. he was a younger dad, unlike me, as an older dad, you know, he, you know, when i was, you know, a teenager, he was in his 40s. i've got siblings who are adopted, siblings who are biological. i can say with all honesty that he and my mother both treated each one of us the same. there was no differentiation, and we were raised, this is your sister, this is your brother. i always kind of scratched my head when i hear people say, this is my stepdaughter or this is my adopted son. you know, this was my -- this is my son, this is my daughter, this is my grandson, this is my granddaughter. that was who he was. i guess my only regret, he really wanted a roker grandson, and he missed nicky's birth by a few months. i would say the thing that i would pass on to other dads that i think i inherently learned from my father was that you cannot hug and kiss your children enough. i just melt when my boy says, i love you, daddy, gives me this big kiss, you you know. you can't put a price on that. you know, for your child to know that they are loved and that it's both emotional and physical is, i think, a great gift. >> we don't have a dry eye here, al roker joins us again from charleston, west virginia. we should mention, too, tamron's dad was a military man himself. you just lost him. >> passed away about three years ago. he was in the army for 31 years. like al said, he was my stepfather but he's the only dad i've ever known. we never said step dad. i was his girl. he said of all the kids i was the one for right and the last time my father saw me on television i was filling in on the "today" show, he was in the hospital. so this show means a lot to me for many reasons but it was the last time my dad saw me. i wish him a happy father's day. they hear us and they're so proud of their girls. >> we hope so. >> we know. >> al, when you described your dad, somebody everybody loved. sounds like you, al. sounds like a chip off the old block. >> yes. >> well, you know what, he still reverberates in our lives so much. my sisters and my brother, we all talk about him like he's still here. he is still here. i look at my sonic i can a nick looks like him. we found out we were pregnant with nicky a few weeks after he passed away. my mother always felt he made a deal with god to bring us a son. who is to say he didn't. >> absolutely. savannah, i love you were saying that your dad would bring gifts to you guys. instead of toys you would get rocks. >> he always wanted to teach us something. i'm thankful to this show to get to tell my dad happy father's day and to get to talk about him. i know we all love to tell people about these people that we love so much. so we'll be back. e announcer ] some are quieter than others. being the squeaky wheel is just not their
