Thanks, Dad!
(CBS)
On the day before Father's Day, the Early Show Saturday Edition anchors took time out to give their dads a special present -- in the form of a touching tribute.
Co-anchors Erica Hill and Chris Wragge, along with news anchor Priya David and weather anchor Lonnie Quinn shared some of their favorite memories and inner-most feelings about the men who shaped their lives.
Hill described her special Tuesdays with her dad, and the courage he's always shown, without a single complaint, in the face of significant health challenges.
Wragge said his dad "has always been my best friend, my coach, mentor. He taught me everything I know," and imparted his love of the New York (football) Giants.
"If I end up being one-half the man my dad was, I'm gonna do great," Quinn observed. "Bar none, the best man I've ever known."
"MY dad's a sweetheart," David said. "He's one of the nicest people you're ever going to meet. And he has always cared intensely about making sure I'm happy and living a good and healthy life, and I can't tell you how fortunate I am for having this man as my father."
"It goes without saying," Wragge summed up, "we've got four wonderful guys who helped raise us."
