Consequently, my dad is not afraid of anything. I grew up believing no task was out of grasp to the one who makes an earnest attempt. This, I believe, is how the seed of “craft” is sown in the heart of a young one. Whether or not I was actively engaged in each adventure with my father is of lesser import. What stands still tall to this day is a bequeathed boldness to try.
I don’t know if my father even knows I was listening and watching all those years. But I was. And it made me who I am. Thanks, Dad.
I grew up with the sound of my father's encouraging words ringing in my ears. "Every time you walk into a room full of people," he once said, "know in your heart that there is something you do better than anyone there. You might not know what it is, but it is there." Imagine the confidence and joy of accomplishment that instills.
