mine is an awesome man, a fantastic role model and great person. his health has waned as he got older, and has late stage dementia and other health problems, but he is still hanging in here. spending all the time I have. he served our country in the Navy for many years, and showed me the right way to be a man, and more importantly a great husband.

he is truly my hero.

I blew the transmission on my dad’s 1981 Chevy Blazer by pushing it too hard in a race out in the country in high school.

Walked all the way home and dad was working in the garden. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to tell him. Thought he’d beat me with the hoe he was using, but he looked me right in the eye, held out his hand and shook mine, saying ‘Son, I’m proud of you for being man enough to admit the truth.’

Then he made me work picking pecans until I could help him pay for a new transmission and the two of us along with my uncle installed it.

My dad is truly the best.
