When growing up I never appreciated my father for the man that he is. As a child your view of your parents can be very different than what they when you are older with your own kids. I look back at how afraid I was of my dad and how intimidated I was by him. He still dose intimidate me to some degree but now I regret feeling the way I did.
Now I know his intentions with the five of us were only good. He wanted good things for us all and he still wants to see us succeed. After being married to someone that comes from a broken home I respect my father even more. He is the Rock of our family.
Happy Father's Day Dad
