Wisdom shared from my Father

My Dad shares lots of emails that he receives. Some are too darn funny, others are political and then there are the ones that are full of wisdom. In many of those messages he sends, I find parts of him. Parts that I see in myself and parts that I hope to impart to my children. My Dad is a great man, full of knowledge, humor and a love for his family. Some of those characteristics I've inherited and others I'll work my whole life and never get close to being where he is.

For not being able to pick who your Dad is gonna be, I sure hit the jackpot! Enjoy the thoughts he's shared!

I BELIEVE!


A Birth Certificate shows that we were born

A Death Certificate shows that we died

Pictures show that we lived!

Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.
