This is a Poem that Brittany wrote for Brent for Father's Day a few years ago. I think it says it all.
THE FATHER YOU NEVER HAD TO BE
Many years have passed and I haven’t taken time to say,
That I am who I am because your guidance along the way.
You were there for me when I was a little kid,
You told me what that was, or what this did.
You showed me how to swim and how to tie my shoes,
You taught me how to win, more importantly how to lose.
You were there for me with my first broken heart.
You taught me what to look out for and how to play it smart.
During all the disagreements between me and mom,
You were always there to keep us calm.
And growing up as a teen?
So much drama it’s like a dream.
Still you’ve stood by my side,
I know, in you I can confide.
The closing of this chapter will come graduation day,
And so many life lessons to learn along the way.
Who knows where I will be when the night comes to an end,
UAB or just moving in with a friend….
Wherever it is I’ll still need you to guide me
So thank you for being the father you never had to be.
That I am who I am because your guidance along the way.
You were there for me when I was a little kid,
You told me what that was, or what this did.
You showed me how to swim and how to tie my shoes,
You taught me how to win, more importantly how to lose.
You were there for me with my first broken heart.
You taught me what to look out for and how to play it smart.
During all the disagreements between me and mom,
You were always there to keep us calm.
And growing up as a teen?
So much drama it’s like a dream.
Still you’ve stood by my side,
I know, in you I can confide.
The closing of this chapter will come graduation day,
And so many life lessons to learn along the way.
Who knows where I will be when the night comes to an end,
UAB or just moving in with a friend….
Wherever it is I’ll still need you to guide me
So thank you for being the father you never had to be.
