I just came across this site while searching on the web. And your writing literally described my father that I lost last summer in a tragic boating accident. Your words were a reminder to me of the amazing man my father was and it is important to take time to reflect, even though it hurts. I am the middle of three girls. My dad has his hands full. But what a footprint and special place he has on my heart. Thank you for writing and I hope that through the past few years God has comforted you in ways nothing in this world can. Your tears are always seen : )

I lost my Mom in September and had the opportunity to speak about her at her funeral. It is good to be able to be truly thankful for the models parents have set. I strive to do the same. May your family be blessed this Thanksgiving.

Unfortunatelly I can not say the same about my dad, however my main objective in life is that my kids feel the same way about me when I pass away as you feel now about your dad. There is no better proof of having achieved ultimate success in life than this. Some how I had forgotten and you have just reminded me, thank you so much for this. —Peter

James: Just beautiful. The gifts you have received from your dad are treasures and have helped make you the person you are today. You’ve given me two inspirations by sharing your deep love for your dad. First, to remember how important it is, in ways both large and small, to always strive to tbe the best role model I can be for my kids. Second, to make sure I do a much better job of letting my dad know as often as I can how much he has given to me and how much I love hime (mom too!).

You’re in my thoughts and prayers buddy.

–Marc

Reading your wonderful words about your Dad reminded me of my own Grandfather. Isn’t it great when you’re lucky enough to have wonderful role models like your Dad who help to steer your life in a positive direction? Moving words well written from the heart. Thanks JK. Please accept my condolences on your loss.

It’s clear that your father was not only a loving dad, but a standout role model. And through this memorial tribute, his life also touches mine. Thanks for sharing with us.
