WHAT IS A GOOD DAD?

It takes more than a squirt of sperm to make a Dad or a Father as I like to refer to them.   A Dad is there for you come Hell or high water.  If you’re wrong a good Dad will tell you and tell you why he thinks you’re wrong.   Just making it to your Little League and Pop Warner games doesn’t make a great Dad, sometime they have work or other things that require their attention.  A good Dad makes sure you stay well grounded, have plenty subsistence, clothes and makes sure you know he loves you with all his heart.  A good Dad will make sure your homework is done and done right as well as give you chores to do to learn the ability to work and teach you to be proud of the work you do.  A good Dad will listen to your problems and allow you to make the decision as to what is right or wrong.  A good Dad will take the time to teach you so much of what he knows and will do so in a way that you are enjoying your time together, not even realizing the lessons that have been learned.  A good Dad will not try to live his past glories through you, he will make sure you will have time enough to learn and earn your own memories.   A good Dad is hard to find so if you have a great Dad make sure he knows how much you love and appreciate him as they don’t last forever and when the time comes that God takes him back make sure he knows he made a difference in your life. 

I truly wish I could have been a better Dad and always lived up to these principles but the past is now gone and thank God it’s never too late to learn.
