My dad is awesome (you are too mom), he set the bar high for the man who would eventually win over my heart (Justin). He has led our family with grace through many trials and triumphs, loved my mom with a very selfless heart for the past 30+ years, and has played a huge role in pointing and guiding my heart to loving the Lord above anything or anyone else. I love my dad and cherish all the times I have and will get to spend with him. He's the best!
Now that I'm a father, it's given me more appreciation for my father. Father's tend to sacrifice their wants and needs for the greater good of the household; that's exactly how it should be and that's exactly what I think about when I think back to my raising.
I'm sure dad would have rather been in the finest of boats, fishing the finest of rods and casting the finest of lures but instead he was spending every ounce of sweat he could to put dinner on the table and provide the funds necessary for me to play baseball and later attend college.
I could write a novel about Charles Poland but words wouldn't do justice for my appreciation. He's a man among men and anyone that comes in contact with him will tell you the same. I have a good example to follow.
