Your father must be a righteous man. My pastor always says there is something special about having a righteous parent/grandparent praying for you. I wish I had that.

He’s a simple man with his share of human flaws but his love for me is exceedingly great.

I believe that God looks past who we are or what we do and sees what’s in our hearts.

A long time ago, my emotionally reticent and totally “non-mushy” dad once said to me, “If you die, I die”.

He’s not one for sentimental declarations of love but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more powerful one.

Most kids had movie stars and such for heroes...mine was always just my dad.

In truth, I hope he lives forever because I don’t know if I could stand a world without him.
