My Dad

With Father's Day right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to share with you a little about one of my biggest supporters and one of the people that has the strongest belief that my writing will take me far - My Dad
From the time I was young, Dad read to us kids often. In fact, if you're a newsletter subscriber, you're going to be getting a fun document where I share some of the titles I most vividly remember. He loved to read and wanted use to explore different genres and types of stories. I'm a far more rounded reader because of him.
He has led our family with quiet strength. He has always been an example of being slow to speak and slow anger. He always has such godly advice, let has often let us make our own decisions so we could learn from them.
Even in these last few years, as he's walked through the difficulty of MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) and faced the possibility of dementia in his future, his chief concern has been preparing his family well for what is to come. 
When I'm discouraged about all the hours I'm pouring into my writing with very little to show for it, He's the one who tells me to keep going, that one day, I'll make it. No one thinks more highly of my work then he does.
Many of the fathers in my stories are based on him because I cannot think of a better model.
I know that he is not perfect, and I have seen him mess up and apologize for his actions. However, I cannot think of anyone I would rather have for a father.
Tell me about your Dad.
