There is no other man in my life like my Dad. I know I’ve written about him before on this blog, but he is the only man in my life who has never let me down and still is the best man I know.

My dad has an amazing servant’s heart and is the first one to volunteer to help anyone. He is generous (always slipping me play money when Mom’s not looking), but beyond that, he gives of himself, his time and whatever he has to give. Every night, he does little things like peel fruit for all of us. He volunteers twice a week at a homeless shelter and works 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

No wonder men don’t measure up. They fall far short of my example of what a real man should be. My Daddy set the bar very high not only for what to look for in my future mate but the person I should strive to be like.

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy.
