A LIFE WELL-LIVED... |

FATHERHOOD FATHERHOOD, according to conventional wisdom: is one of life's greatest responsibilities and rewards; A father: is more than a provider of material needs; is a guide, protector, teacher and source of strength for his family; leads by example; teaches honesty, kindness, respect, and perseverance; gives his children confidence, knowing they are loved, supported and encouraged to pursue their dreams; Fatherhood... In the end, it says: The true measure of fatherhood is not wealth or status, but the love, wisdom, and values passed on to the next generation. A father's influence can last a lifetime, leaving a legacy that continues through his children and grandchildren. A father's greatest gift is not what he gives his children, but the persons he helps them become. The question that gives me sleepless nights is: How do I fare? Only two souls are qualified to answer that. |
