For My Dad…

Dear Dad, There are some people who say that a girl’s first love is her father. I have to agree with them. I love you beyond measure. I could probably count on one hand the number of times that I know of that I disappointed you. You never showed any anger towards me or Tim, or to Mom that I can recall.

He Believes in Me…

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person… He believed in me.” – Jim Valvano I’m more like my father than I realize. I have the same green eyes, the same “selective hearing”, and the same non-confrontational, passive personality.
