Father’s Day…

was yesterday and there were three men in my family who deserved to be acknowledged for being a great father. Troy was an exceptional father, always putting his children first. My father was known to be a hard worker who spent his early years in the Army after being drafted. The stories he used to tell me were so unbelievable, it helped me to understand him. Troy’s Dad was also an exceptional father, he had a horrible childhood yet he was so good to Troy. The story I was told was that his father died and when his mother remarried she was told she could only keep the youngest child, so John and his older sister Dorothy were sent to live with relatives. John said he was sent from family to family. He held very deep resentment for this. He was a gruff man but he was so giving. I loved all three of them in different ways. I miss all three of them, they all made a difference in my life. We should always be thankful for those in our life that helped shape us into who were are today. Thank you all for being a part of my life…..
