That to be a man it has to come from within. To have the strength to do what's right and the courage to fix what's wrong. To understand the wants, needs and desires of others while at times putting them above your own. To have a heart that allows you to cry, and a soul that tells you it's alright.

The most important thing my father taught me was/is to have confidence in myself. I learned how to sing well by watching him too. Great question, because father's don't get the recognition that mother's do.

One phrase that always seems to stick with me is "knowledge is power". Though I'm sure he didn't mention it to me more than once or twice, it just seems to make perfect sense.
On the other hand though, he also taught me through his own actions how incredibly important patience is. Maybe it's just because he had to excercise his own patience so much when raising me?

Love, kindness and gentleness. He died in 1968 and even now, when I think of him, my heart feels warm and safe.
