Aug. 9, 2007 - Tribute to my Dad

This is my tribute to my dad.

Sometimes we look at our fathers and only see their bad points. Sure, no ones perfect and some may have worse problems then others, but just the same, we need to look at their good qualities and base their character on them, not necessarily the bad. For my tribute I would like to list some admirable qualities I've seen in my dad and would like to mimic.

*He is very good at budgeting money.
*He's smart about many different things. If your around him for a while you can tell that he reads a whole lot.
*He always tries to check things out before he believes them.
*He acts like himself even if everyone thinks he's absolutely nuts.

These are just some of the good character traits I see in him. Sometimes the good points can outweigh the bad.

So your moving? I hope packing is bearable to you, it never was to me! We moved a lot when I was younger, but have'nt for about 6 or 7 years. I almost wish we could, though, I HATE living in the city. :-) Are you moving to the country, or a city?
Oh, and were we supposed to get questions when you tagged us? Because if we were, and you e-mailed them to us we never got them. Sorry, I have no idea how this tag thing works, even with your explaination...

Great tribute, Lysha. :-)

For some reason I feel like I should be praying for you and your family....... I'm not sure why, I just think I need to be doing that regularly. :-)

Hugs,
Becca
