Mo Ghile Mear (My Hero)
Its that time of the year again. Its almost Fathers Day again. Im extremly thankful to of had a father like mine. Even though he's not with us anymore, the lessons that he taught me will last forever. He taught me to always treat women with respect and love. I also learned that it is okay to show your emotions. Not only did I learn everything i know from him, he also helped me become who I am today. My dad came to every band concert, wrestiling meet, football game, play and track meet. Whenever i succeeded at something, he acted like I had just won the Medal Of Honor. I always knew that he would be watching me preform. With him in the stands, it made me push myself that much harder. Every time i saw him in the stands, I always ran that much faster and wresteled that much harder. Never did he ever miss a day of work, a house payment or a car payment. We never went hungry even though he might of. He was honestly the best father I could ever wish for.

Right on, Luke. One of a kind and none finer!
ReplyDeleteI love the Gaelic title, Connor - I just watched "Million Dollar Baby", with the main character calling herself Mo Cuishle - very cool.
ReplyDeleteOh you hit that right on the head. Your Dad was truly the best. I have heard my own brothers and even Father say they wish they were "More of a Father like Joe"...that's a fact. God knows it breaks all our hearts that it wasn't long enough but for as long as it was....it was the best and nobody can take that away!...Kathleen
ReplyDeletePS...for some reason I can not comment anymore on here....I have been duct taped at the mouth or something :)
Luke, you honor Joe with this declaration of his lessons and love. He is still watching and loving you. That never ends. "Death cannot stop true love, only delay it a bit".
