The Measure of a Man

Tonight we will honor my dad at his retirement party.  He recently retired after 42 years with Southwestern Bell/AT&T.  He rarely missed a day of work and never complained...although when he worked outside climbing telephone poles, he braved the freezing cold, scorching heat and occasional wasps.  He came home each day at 5:15, singing "Daddy's home", where he was greeted with hugs and kisses.  After dinner, he'd always have time to help with homework...especially Algebra.  I appreciate all of the sacrifices he made for our family.
I am so proud to be the daughter of a man with such integrity!
Congratulations Daddy!  May you enjoy this new season in your life!
Love you much!
