Standing Strong and Tall

I have always been proud of my dad. Not a moment passes by that I haven't thought he was the perfect man. Earlier this month my dad had his change of command ceremony within his military regiment.

He has been the CO, aka the head man for just over 3 years and this was the ceremonial and celebration of his goodbye. For the first time ever, I saw my dad  almost cry twice and really express to his soldiers, friends and family the love he had for the army. I think more importantly, his soldiers, friends and family showed the love they have for him and all that he has done!

My dad: the perfect car packer.

So again I say I have always thought my dad was the perfect man, he is kind and caring, a big goof-ball, fair and serious when necessary and always makes the right decision based on how it will effect others. He goes over and beyond what needs to be done for his family and people he cares for and really shows what being a leader means.

I credit my dad for teaching me the lessons on what doing things for others will do for yourself and remember who matters most in all decisions you make, that its not about what you want or need but how it will affect the people you lead and their lives that matter most.

Love you dad- today, tomorrow and every day after that.
