I was truly blessed to have about four fathers in my life that shaped my effectiveness as to what a dad should be. My grandpa, while in my life only about a dozen years taught me the grind it out mentality, my dad taught me the tougher side of life, the street smarts and how to read people AND the importance in knowing the difference between a friend and an acquaintance, my father in law who taught compassion and understanding that we are no better than the person sitting next to us and lastly Dr. Wyllie who taught me the importance of unconditional love for my family and the importance of being benevolent. Four uniquely different people with all important lessons to share. I was 12 when Inlost my grandpa, 44 when I lost my dad, 49 when I lost my father in laws and due to health concerns haven't been able to talk with Dr Wyllie for ten years. Im grateful for each of them in their helping me shape who I am. I hope at the end of the day I lived or am living a life they'd be proud of. To all the fathers out there and mothers who have had to play the role of a father, Happy Fathers Day.
