Happy Father's Day

You know what? I've got an awesome Dad! I remember growing up that when people would ask me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" that I would answer with the typical little-boy answer... Something like, "A linebacker in the NFL," or, "A fighter pilot," or something else equally grandiose.

But in reality, all I wanted to be was a Dad. One like my Dad. One who was always there. One who always rooted for me. One who always pushed me to do my best & be my best, but always there to encourage me when I fell short of my own expectations. One who showed me what it meant to be a man. A real man. A man who put his family before his own interests and desires.

Now I have 4 beautiful little girls of my own; 1 waiting for me in Heaven & 3 that I get to spend time with... If their dad is 1/2 the man that my dad was (is), then they're going to have a great example.

Hosanna, Faith, & Leili: I love you, my sweeties! Micaiah, Mommy & I will see you one day.

Thanks, Dad. I love you!
