Family: My Father

Got a couple of boys and have been thinking about my own Dad. I remember when I was about five or so. I used to look up at him and think he knew everything, that he was the tallest and the hairest man alive.

The years have passed. Dad's now in his 60's, he's still taller -but I'm a lot hairier than him. At times I have been his biggest critic at times I've wanted nothing more than to impress him.

Dad has only now exploring issues of faith, but there are three qualities that he has intstilled in me that I really value:

1 A solid work ethic and the need to obtain vocational qualifications/skills that add value.
2 He still demonstrates love,respect and affection for my mother.
3 A love of life and the fine things in life.
