A Dad

I'm so very thankful for a dad who is a wonderful example of many great things and who is a wonderful influence for good. I'm thankful for a dad who was softspoken and never raised his voice at his children and wife. I'm thankful for a dad who kept the same job in the same city and same house for 30 years so his children never had to change schools. I'm thankful for a dad who always had a quarter for me to make a phone call while on a date just in case of an emergency. I'm thankful for a dad who was always at my dance reciatals and swim meets and anything that was importanct to me. I'm thankful for a dad who always took us to church. I'm thankful for a dad who is a great example of the importance of serving a mission. I'm thankful for a dad who has always been supportive of me while I've been in school.
