Why My Dad Is Great

In helping my dad put together his blog, I just had to write a quick article explaining what I believe makes him such a successful business consultant, and more importantly to me, a wonderful man...The first thing that comes to mind is his tenderness. My dad is the kind of guy who has suffered enough in life to be tender, patient and kind - to really listen, and better than that, seek to understand and help. I've never met a person who asked my dad for help and didn't get it and then some - he's an amazingly helpful person, in fact some people have been amazed at the lengths to which he has gone to help a total stranger.

My dad is the guy who you see jumping out of their car to help push another car all the way to the gas station, or the one who kindly confronts the person who just cut in line that the rest of us are too scared, or too tired to confront. He's the guy who hasn't given up on anything or anyone in his whole life - the kind you want with you in a fight, the kind you need when the chips are down. Which reminds me, my dad is a fighter, and I can't tell you how many times I've watched him fight with everything he had on behalf of someone else, whether or not there would be a thank you for him in the end.

My dad is the person who helps other people see the potholes in their business, their life, even in their driveway - but he doesn't stop there. He gets out his wheelbarrow - he gets out his shovel, he brings out materials and he goes to work to fill in the holes and make life less bumpy.

I've learned so much from my dad over the years. I've learned to not be afraid of bullies. I've learned that no one can "make" me feel or do anything - but that I choose how to respond in life. I've learned that life is hard, but real men don't give up or give in - they keep going. That's my dad - and if I were you, I'd get him on my team as soon as possible!

I love you Dad! Love, Kim
