Today marks three years since my dad's funeral. Sometimes I am still bitter he left. But back to being thankful. My dad taught me about hard work. About doing a job until it is done. My dad taught me how to save and the importance of a rainy day fund. He taught me that I should always have a way to support my kids if needed. And for me it was needed. He taught us to support ourselves financially.
He gave amazing advice. Every time I would call him with a question after I was married his question was " What did Lee say?" He never wanted to get involved in our marriage and I am sure that he bit his tongue often. He made it clear that Lee and I were in this together and he had taken a back seat.
I wish he would have stuck around longer. I wish he could see his grand kids grow up to be the amazing young people they are. I know he is still watching us and stepping in on occasion. But I so thankful that he stuck around long enough to be a super great influence in my life.
