My father was my hero.
I can't imagine how I could have had a better dad. He built a home in which my mother, sisters and I always felt loved, supported and nurtured. He was an extremely successful teacher and coach whose wisdom touched the lives of countless young people. He was always known as a loyal friend, the consummate "straight-shooter" whose honesty and morality were above reproach.
Best of all, he became a member of God's kingdom in the 70s, finally understanding that as good a man as he was, his righteousness was still a filthy rag by God's standards.
He went to be with the Lord in 1991. But although cancer took him and I miss him terribly, we do not sorrow as those who have no hope. I know I will get to see him again! (1 Thessalonians 4:12-15)
Dad, this song's for you.
