I've had three fathers in my life.

One by birth, one by adoption and one by my adopted mother's re-marriage.

My birth father was a real-life character!
The funniest man I ever met.

My legally adopted father was by birth my uncle (my dad's oldest brother). He was a wonderful man. He taught me some things that I have carried with me all my life. The greatest of those lessons was to look for, recognize and "see" beauty in everyday things.

My stepfather wasn't good for much in my life, (Sorry, but that is the truth) but he did teach me how to change a tire on my car and he taught me to never let my gas tank fall below half-full on a road trip. Those lessons saved my ass a few times, so I appreciate them, and him for them.

My sons are both good fathers to their kids...and so is my brother.

I love men...good men who step up and do the right things for their families.

Pan..YOU are a good man, a good husband to your wife and a good father to your boys. They are lucky to have you...and God bless your father in heaven. He taught you to see beauty in the written word and to be steadfast. I respect the heck out of him, and you for those qualities.

EXEMPLAR: I love that. And yes, I'd bet that bird song was no accident.

Mmmmmm....MEN...The leather to our "lady" lace, the strong backbone of our nation and the strength of our families. And, thank you God...for making them just the way you did!
Magnificent in their role.... in all our lives.

Nodding in appreciation of them, one and all.
