in his youth
i'm grateful for my dad. he always has time to listen to me worry over my struggles and tells me how great i am. he always has time for my kids and is excited with them over their achievements and the things that are special to each heart. i am a lot like him but not enough like him. the lessons he taught me when i was young - mostly by example - come back to me now as i try to be the parent i want to be.
