- bait a hook and
clean my catch,
- hit a baseball and
field a fly,
- pitch a tent and
build a fire,
- memorize the
multiplication tables,
- say please and
thank you,
- saw a board, hammer a nail, and shingle a roof,
- drive a stick shift and change a tire,
- dance the Texas Two-Step

and demonstrated the qualities that make a fine man.
Happy Father's Day, Dad.

Sandy, what a sweet tribute to your father. It gave me chills. My dad didn't fish, but he taught me to read, speak correctly, become a storyteller and so much more. We're lucky to have great dads, aren't we?
ReplyDeleteMy dad was an important part of my life in so many ways. The ones I listed were just the tip of the iceberg! Yes, we were lucky.
DeleteA fine tribute, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy.
DeleteI am so touched by your tribute to your dad. So wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMy dad taught me how to milk cows, make an electromagnet, shoot, ride, build a hot fire, and most of all, by the way he loved my mother, he taught me what kind of man I should find for myself.
Nice post for us to reflect upon all the joys we experienced with our fathers. Thank you.
