Happy Father's Day

Hey guys!
First I would like to begin by saying Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s and Mom’s who plays the role as their child’s father. Thank you for raising your sons and daughters to excel and achieve their own dreams in life.

My dad always showed his girls tough love. I am truly thankful for that because I learned that I couldn’t always get my way when I cried and wined. I had to work very hard or show some kind of effort when I really had to have something I couldn’t afford. My dad used to say “Just as long as you do what you’re supposed to do, you’ll get what you need”. Encouraging words of wisdom all the time. He has always lectured to me and my sisters when we younger about life. We used to stare at him, like can we go now, we hear you. Now that we are older it’s “Hey dad, what’s new in life, what’s up in your world?” Now he spends time talking to us and making us laugh about how we gone take care of him when we all begin our careers.
My dad is so amazing. He gets 5 stares on this father’s day in my book. The first stare is for his love. Whether good or bad, he always showed us so much love and took up for us. The second stare is for wisdom. He had the best sayings that I ever heard, some were very funny, and some were very real. The third stare is for his support. No what my sisters and brothers decided to do he was always in our corner. He didn’t always agree with the situation but he made sure he was there. The forth stare is for the time we shared. I remember on weekends he used to take my sisters and me over to his cousin house so we could learn how to work on cars. As girls we just wanted to play with Barbie, ride bikes and play with our cousins. Till this day I know a little more about cars, which can shock a few guys. The fifth stare is for him, being him. I thank God for the most awesome father in the universe.

Happy Father’s Day again to all you great men and women!!
