happy father's day pops!

adeline's favorite story about her pappa (my dad) is when he was just a little kid his brother fell and got really hurt so pappa scooped him up and carried him home, just over 2 miles. adeline loves the heroic nature of this story. she loves to hear about her pappa as a kid doing such a brave and loving thing. i love this story because it is a picture of who my dad is. he is selfless & compassionate.

my favorite story about my dad shows his selflessness and sacrifice for our family. my dad was drafted to vietnam and when he got out he used his earnings to buy a brand new 1969 yellow camero. he loved that car. he kept it in perfect condition, and just like everything my dad owns, he cared for it with great detail. when i was about 7 years old my dad wanted to take us on vacation but money was tight so make ends meet he sold his camero. i remember thinking it was a big deal then but as an adult i really know the sacrifices he made for us were far greater than him just selling his car. he is the most selfless man i know and i could not be more thankful for God placing me in his family. he has taught me innumerable lessons by the way he lives his life & loves his family. i love my pops daddy & am thankful for your life.
