family matters. In preparation for father's day, I asked the G. H crew to share some personal nuggets at right. You will find expressions of glee, celebration, respect, contemplation and humour reflecting some of what fathers mean to us. After reading everyone's responses, I felt moved and inspired to tackle the exercise myself. Hopefully you will find you will feel the same way. Well my dad is genuinely one of my favorite people and he quietly lights up every room with a smile. If I'm like him at all, it's because I've tried to emulate him. Here are some of his traits I hope to share, believing anything is possible if you set your mind to it. Finding moments of genuine happiness in almost any circumstance, assessing every new opportunity through both creative lenses and an analytical one. Always trusting others, do the right thing. In high school, I totaled the family car in an accident while my dad was away, thankfully no one was hurt, but the event itself was terrifying in high stress and the police were involved. When I finally saw my dad, he walked up to me, put his arm over my shoulder and gave it a squeeze, saying, glad to see you're okay kid. That was the last thing he said about it and nothing more. My dad is a teacher, he will be 80 this year and even in the midst of COVID, one of his favorite activities picking up a ship as a substitute at the local high school. He loves to teach. He taught me to swim at three, build a fire from scratch at five, Drive a car at 13 and yes, I did total it and most important, he taught me that if you really want to do something, you just have to try. If you make mistakes, you absorb the lessons and you improve and learn from it. There's no point in beating yourself up and definitely don't quit. One of the ways I keep learning from my dad is through the stories he shares from his various life stages. I believe storytelling is one of the most inspiring educational tools, which I am so proud to have picked up from him. That is my dad. Another thing my dad taught me was not to be afraid to speak my mind. Don't worry that you'll say the wrong thing, that's how you learn and grow and come up with great ideas. When I was in college, we would meet once a week for lunch or dinner at a little thai place in Gramercy park. That time along with my dad has always been so special to me in almost every way possible, but mostly because we're both creative spending time with my dad is a great time and wonderful we share and have so much in common. I will never forget the time that he help me not to be afraid of the dark by just simply plugging in a nightlight. Just those little things mean so much. He is my protector. He helps me, He leads me, he guides me when I need something. He never hesitates to make sure that I have it. And most importantly, he taught me how to use tools. Yes, I am a lady, but I do have 32 kids under my cabinet in my laundry room. And he has taught me through those two kids to build so many amazing things. Now, that is a trait that I have passed on to my girls where they know how to use tools and put things together in their room. I think it teaches us a sense of independence and that we're not just for the kitchen only we can build things ourselves. My dad for my birthday, every year would get me flowers and make sure I have a chocolate cake with strawberries on top. He would always come visit my job and would take me to lunch. I miss him doing that as he passed 12 years ago. Every time for my birthday. I get a little saddened because I still to this day, expect those flowers and I still to this day expect that cake with the strawberries on top. Unfortunately it's not there anymore. But the memories live on in my mind and in my heart as I wiped tears away every year on his birthday. Every year at his death anniversary and every year on my birthday, I miss you so much dad and with father's day coming up. It just makes me really, really miss you so much more and just realize how important you really are to me and the impact that you've had in my life and in my heart. Your girls. Yes. Your grand girls. They miss you as well. They miss those hugs. They missed those kisses on the forehead and they missed the love that you've shown The fireworks on four July and the barbecues as well as I, Your memory lives on in our hearts. We love you so much. one of the things that I always remember every day is that you live in me. You still breathe in me, You still see through my eyes because I do have your eyes. You still smell flowers through my nose because I have your nose and I still calm your hair every day because I have your hair. I have so many traits that are like you. One of the many traits I have, like you is your personality, the way that you interact with people and your carefree view of life. I don't let things get to me too much, but sometimes they do, but I stayed calm through it, which I know I get that from you. I do laugh at jokes a lot. I get that from you and I still think about the jokes that you told me that I still laugh at even though you're not here. I talked to your picture daily. I say good morning to you. I let you know that I'm going to make this a great day because if you were here, that's what you would tell me to do is make it a great day because I make the day I ruled my day and I have to make it a great day. If it's gonna be one Oh dad with the memories of you, it just makes me know that I'm a good person and I'm going to be an even better person because I know that you're smiling down on me with that big smile and that hearty laugh that you always had. Thank you for being such a good impact in my life, for helping me to be a better adult, a better mom and a better everything in my life. They say that mothers get the best gifts on mother's day. I tend to agree with that, but I tend not to because when you've had a dad like mine, then they get the better gifts than the moms. In some cases, if you still have your dad loved them, cherish them and remember that they're the first men in your life, Whether you're a boy, They are 1 to look up to, to mirror. There are good values. And if you're a daughter, they are your first everything that you're looking for in a man to be your first boyfriend, your first protector, your first provider, your first Mr fix it, your first everything, your first taxi to. Of course if your son then you're looking to your dad for guidance on how to be a good man to your future family or significant other or just in life as an employee or a business owner. Dads are so much more important than they think. And yes, moms are important, but dads are equally important because they are the men. They are the muscle in the family and they make a break. What a family is, mothers do the same. And I really think that mothers and dads work together to make that happen there like day and night or mustard and mayonnaise or hamburgers and hot dogs. Um Either way, that's what makes a family unit special. That's what makes a family unit unique and that's what just makes a family in general For a unity in one household on one accord. Thank you so much for your consideration and have a great rest of your day.
