My Father was:

A mentor to three boys.

A loyal husband.

A compassionate man.

A caring soul.

An honest heart.

Smart and wise.

A fair mind.

My Father knew who he was.

He enjoyed country music.

He worked with his hands.

He took naps.

He had a strong faith.

He voiced a big laugh.

He loved life.

And yet it was taken from him far too young.

…….

I am half the man he was.
