As a son I wanted nothing more than to emulate my dad. He was strength, wisdom and the voice of reason. As a father I want my children to find strength in my weaknesses, knowledge in my failures and hope in their own dreams as they watch me follow mine.
To Dad thank you for allowing me to walk my own path and to fall and fail. It is in falling and failing I have grown and become strong, independent and gained my own wisdom. Knowing you are always there for reassurance has helped make this journey and will continue to help as I face difficult choices which lie ahead.
To my kid’s never be afraid to try and fail. Life is in the journey and the next great chapter of your life could be around the next corner if you are simply willing to take the next step. You cannot know the joy of success without the knowledge of failure. Give of yourselves to those you care about and never be afraid to say,”I love you” most often it is all you need to say.
So Dad, Kayla and Kyle, I love you. Happy Fathers Day!
