'A day spent with you is my favourite day. So, today is my new favourite day.'
To celebrate all the wonderful fathers out there we thought it would be an awesome opportunity to interview one of our amazing Miann and Co brand family members @mahiya_georgiej.Gaining an insight into this amazing family was so wonderful, they believe that it is important to teach their children that "everyday we should love our mummy and daddy and don't need 'one' date to show it". This was such a beautiful comment that is worthwhile sharing!
We asked Patrick and his gorgeous children a series of questions…
Patrick’s answers:
Introduce yourself, we would absolutely love to know a little bit about you! You are great!
My name is Patty I am a proud South Sea Island and Aboriginal man. I am a descendant of those apart of the slave trade that were brought to Australia from Vanuatu.
What is your favourite thing to do with your children?
Anything that involves being outdoors. We have some awesome beaches here on the QLD coast so we spend a lot of our free time exploring the rock pools and just enjoying long days down by the beach with the family.
What do you enjoy most about being a dad?
Watching each of my children grow and seeing each of their individual personalities develop.
What surprised you the most about being a dad?
PATIENCE! I’ve had to learn to be very patient in highly stressful situations. I have four kids so it’s pretty hectic some days. But it’s all totally worth it!
What is your favourite thing to do with your dad?
We are Rugby League Fanatics; so watching our favourite team The Canberra Raiders play is always a favourite thing to do with him. We rarely miss a game!
What is your favourite thing about your dad?
From a very young age I noticed his work ethic and what he did to provide for our family. So that instilled the same work ethic in me.
The children’s answers:

What is your favourite thing about your dad?
