Your are so simply called … “Dad” Such a small word with so much purpose. You fill them with love, self esteem and you make them feel safe. You provide leadership and guidance. At times this all seems to go unnoticed but as the years go on and they grow a little each day, they eventually realize how profound and important you truly are. Never forget that. Happy Father's Day from Lawyers With Purpose.
Dad

He never looks for praises
He's never one to boast
He just goes on quietly working
For those he loves the most
His dreams are seldom spoken
His wants are very few
And most of the time his worries
Will go unspoken too
He's there…. A firm foundation
Through all our storms of life
A sturdy hand to hold to
In times of stress and strife
A true friend we can turn to
When times are good or bad
One of our greatest blessings,
The man that we call Dad.

My dad taught me two very important things. He is gone now 20 years yet I still use his words of wisdom in times when nothing else makes sense.
1. Live without regrets. Do what you want to do as long as its for the right reasons. Regrets take up too much time and energy. Use the time and energy to make sure you don’t look back and wish it was different.
2. It all works out in the end. If it isn’t worked out, it’s not the end. So simple but ALWAYS true! Thanks dad.
Thank You so much for posting this . . . it helps keep me in the right perspective and remembering what really matters most.
The one big thing that my dad has taught me is to work hard . . . we grew up thinking Labor Day was a day to work . . . didn’t know it was a national holiday for a long time!
But the lesson of working hard is something I carry with me as well as the joy of getting a job done to enjoy the benefits of the hard work!
My Dad taught me integrity. Through his words, but more importantly, his actions, he taught me to do the right thing even if it was unpopular.
