Dads and their kids...Celebrating four very special dads
My dad who taught me the importance of giving my best effort, listening first before reacting, attention to detail, treating everyone with respect, appreciating good food and fun food, enjoying life and the good stuff. He died 20 years ago...way too young when he left this earth.
My father-in-law who died two years ago at the age of 97. He served in the Pacific theater in WWII and became a teacher and home remodeler after his military service. His fortes: attention to detail, strong faith to lead his life, love and pride in his family, excellent golfer, didn't mince words. You knew right where you stood with him.
T...my husband of almost 42 years and dad to our gang of 4. Such a people person, witty, brilliant, hard working, long career in the mortgage banking business, well respected because he gives others respect and values people.
My son, my youngest child, who yesterday joined the fatherhood fraternity upon the birth of his son. My baby has a baby. And like the men before him, he will be a most excellent dad.
A Successful Man
"That man is a success -
who has lived well,
laughed often and loved much;
who has gained the respect of intelligent men
and the love of children;
who has filled his niche
and accomplished his task;
who leaves the world
better than he found it;
who has never lacked the appreciation of earth's beauty
or failed to express it;
who looked for the best in others
and gave the best he had."
