My Dad . . . a good man, a godly man, and a great father . . . my best friend. Those arms have carried me all these years through sacrifice and selflessness. Top-notch coach, number #1 cheerleader, unceasing intercessor, faithful at all times. You have shown me the love and beauty of God our Father in a fatherless day, a gift that keeps on giving, a gift I hope one day to give to your grandchildren. Thank you dad, for always keeping me in wonder, and as the years go by, for the tear-stained memories I cherish each day.
