what kind of man is/was your father

Tweet

My father is 76 years old and what a blessing to still have him and my mom still with us. Another 76 would work for me just fine. But what kind of man was he? He was the best of the best. He taught me many things as I grew up. Issues that would effect me when I was older. He is a loving man who taught me it was o.k. for a man to cry or show his gentle side.He taught me about God and how he would always be there for me, just as my father is. He was a hard worker and unafraid to work several jobs to feed his five gaping mouths. He taught me that a woman was always a lady and that is how you treated her. You showed her the respect she was suppose to get and always to compliment her looks and her smile. He taught me that if you treated a woman in the very best manner you could, that she would love you forever. He taught me that there was never ever a reason to strike a woman. That to do so made you the lowest form of life on this planet. He and my mother just celebrated 55 years together, so I trust he knows a bit about how to treat a lady right. And, he taught me that he was not perfect, that made mistakes sometimes as a father and that I would too. But he knew how much I loved and admired him and said that my Love and children would love me in ths same way. He showed me it was ok to make mistakes and to be HUMAN. He is a good man and I am a better man because of him. I love him very much. What kind of Father do/did you have.
