My parents tell me that they didn’t have a boy’s name picked out for me when I was in the womb. Why? Because when Dad looked at Mom’s pregnant belly, he said with absolute confidence, “It’s a girl.” They decided on Lisa Elizabeth and never had a back-up option. My daddy just knew.
Almost 23 years later, I think about the ways Dad has influenced me: he (as well as Mom) is a wonderful writer, and he’s always encouraged me to look deeper than the superficial, to take chances, and to dream.
His blog for Memorial Day was fantastic— please go read and watch the video. Happy Day-After-Fathers-Day to every dad who engaged and invested in the lives of his children.
