We write to you not only as your children, but as your many admirers. We write to you because out of every helping hand we have received in this world, you receive the least amount of credit and praise for the things you did. You’ve always stood back and let us shine, only stepping in when we call for you knowing you can’t be more than a short distance away. It’s time we use these words to pull you and every other remarkable father into the light you so deserve to be seen in. It’s time that light radiates on the genuine and extraordinary love only you could have shown us.
A father teaches his children many lessons about what it means to truly love and experience this life. One of the most critical understandings he can portray to the young eyes beaming up at him is the notion of how we should be treated. Dad, we remember everything. We remember every time you selflessly did what we wanted, and never asked for anything in return.We remember every display of overwhelming patience and grace you showed me.
Often a dependable and trustworthy father figure can become a scarcity today, so for those of us blessed enough to be graced with one like you, we feel the strength of that presence. We had high expectations because you set the bar high. We had high hopes because you taught us that love from another should be respectful, honest and encouraging.
