My mom says I look more and more like him as I age. I miss him dearly. I remember on his deathbed he told me that no matter where life's journey took me, I should always look after my mom. Being young, I didn't understand his meaning too much then, but now I'm a man, I appreciate those words even more and I believe if he was alive today, he would be proud of my actions and the man I have become.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this.The Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667034322952126127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-56289907740248574562011-06-21T11:32:04.431-05:002011-06-21T11:32:04.431-05:00Good Father's Day post, Relyn.

This tribute to your dad makes me cry and this poem, "the more I tried to prove him wrong, the more I proved him right" rings so true for me.

Father's Day is always a difficult day for me, as my father deserted my mom when I was 2 years.

It's wonderful that you appreciate your Dad's great qualities and cherish them as they appear in you. It is a joy to watch God's plan unfold as we become similar to our parents in many ways.
