In loving memory of my dear daddy
and my wonderful father-in-law…
and in honor of my husband,
my very best friend and the father of our children.
Three very loving, honorable, and unselfish Christian men who have blessed my life!
♥ ♥ ♥
I love my father as the stars –
he’s a bright shining example
and a happy twinkling in my heart.

It’s only when you grow up, and step back from him,
or leave him for your own career and your own home –
it’s only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it.

You have a little girl. She looks up to you.
You’re her oracle. You’re her hero.
And then the day comes when she gets her first permanent wave
and goes to her first real party,
and from that day on,
you’re in a constant state of panic.

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant
I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be twenty-one,
I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

I’ve had a hard life,
but my hardships are nothing
against the hardships that my father went through
in order to get me to where I started.

Something you’ll probably never hear your father say:
Well, how ’bout that?… I’m lost!
Looks like we’ll have to stop and ask for directions.
Father.
