"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to twenty one, I was astonished how much he had learned in seven years!" -Mark Twain
"I don't care how poor a man is, if he has a family he is RICH." -Colonel Potter (M*A*S*H)
My dad taught me everything I need to know about hard work, living well, and being a quality human being. He lead by example and at times growing up we most definitely butted heads. As I matured and grew up though I began to realize how much he truly influenced my life.
I see a similar quote to this online a fair amount but it rings true here... I just can't believe it some days when I open my mouth and my father comes out!
Happy Fathers Day Dad, wish I could be at the lake fishing with you today instead of working a 12 hour shift.
