The Lesson of "Life"..

My Dad got up every day and went to work..He worked for the same company for 34 years until they closed..I can count on one hand the number of times he called in sick to work in all those years..My Dad has been married to my Mom for 36 years..Even though we were poor, my Dad saved all year long by turning in cans he found on roadways and parking lots(it started acutally before I was born because he hates litter) to take us to Great America in the summer..My Dad, former Navy, is a Patriot by blood and made sure us kids understood what we had to be thankful, proud, and humble for..His biggest demand from any of us was, "You don't lie, you don't cheat, and you don't steal"..My Dad taught me the lesson of "life" by just living his own life..And for that I am eternally gratefull..
