ATL - June 11, 2008 -- “Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers” (Proverbs 17:6). Seven children, ranging in age from  4-17, with one of the middle children, Danita Whyte, age 13, leading the pack and actually designing the beautiful website, as a tribute to their father, national bestselling author, Daniel Whyte III, are pleased to announce, just in time for Father’s Day, the launching of their new website, www.DearPapa.org. DearPapa.org is dedicated, not only to their father, but to the thousands of fathers around the world who love and sacrifice for their children and who know the value of spending quantity and quality time with their children. 

It is their hope and prayer that this website will help be a voice for the thousands of other children who love and honor their fathers as well. The seven Whyte children: Daniella, Daniel IV, Danita, Danae`, Daniqua, Danyel, and Danyelle believe that the best gift that you can give your father is a personal note or letter from your heart. They believe and their father believes that those written words mean more to a father than anything that you can give him or do for him. Mrs. Meriqua Whyte, the wife of Daniel Whyte and the mother of all seven children, states: "This is truly a labor of love and out-pouring of affection from the hearts of these children for their father, and he is very much deserving of their love, honor, and respect because he is the most loving,  caring, and attentive father that I have ever seen in my life. And his love is not always shown by praising them and giving them what they want, but  admonishing them and chastising them when they are wrong."

DearPapa.org  is a Christian-based site that rests upon the scriptures found in the Old and New Testament of the Holy Bible: "Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee" (Exodus 20:12). "Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth" (Ephesians 6:2-3).

With beautifully designed pages and captivating artwork, the website also includes several letters and poems that the children have written to their father since they have been able to write, tips on celebrating Father’s Day, quotes, and gift ideas for Father’s Day other than the greatest gift of all which is a  personal heartfelt letter to him on Father's Day. Other children are also invited to write a special note to their Father via the DearPapa.org message board for their father to read on Father's Day as well.
