He always told me I could be anything I wanted to be with goals, persistence, and a little determination. He taught me that losing was OK, so long as I got back up and tried again. Those heart to heart talks growing up seemed tough, but ultimately he always pointed out the silver lining to the cloud. I am thankful for such a wonderful, giving, loving father.
Happy Father's Day Dad!
