As I get to watch the most important man in my life be a father, it reminds me of the second most important and impacting man in my life, my Dad.\u00a0 I love my Mom and Dad, but both in a different way.\u00a0 Dad complimented Mom in parenting.\u00a0 In an age that doesn’t see fathers as important with famous single women celebs adopting and raising kids without a father, I reflect on the essential and important role my Dad played.<\/p>\n
When I was having a tough thirteenth year of life (we moved for the first time in my life, changed churches and I was growing up), my Dad introduced me to the wonderful game of golf. \u00a0It became our special thing together. \u00a0My Dad found a special opportunity for me to have an outlet for all the changes happening in my life to be able to invest in playing the life long lasting game of golf. \u00a0Golf is wonderful, golf takes concentration and focus, but it also helps relax as the pace is slow for a sport. \u00a0As we hit golf balls, chipped or putted, we had conversations about life and faith. \u00a0I look forward to Josias learning to golf, because I know his Opa will be putting a golf club in his hand the minute he can stand up. \u00a0Thus the game will be passed down to the next generation. I still love having conversations with my Dad and hearing all his wonderful thoughts on life.<\/p>\n
