Ladies of Hive Community Contest #138

For this week's Ladies of Hive contest entry, I chose to honor my dad.

If you had a beloved "father figure" in your life (father, grandfather, uncle, family friend, employer, etc.) and would like to recognize them with a story, we'd love to hear it!

To my beloved father who has been there for all of his family through thick and thin. A man of great integrity and kindness. He has been a significant role model for both my brother and I. We are so lucky to have you in our lives. Thank you so much!

❤️Happy Father's Day 2023❤️

My father is a good man. I'm sure my grandparents had a lot to do with that as well as his time in the service. As a veteran of the United States Air Force, he is not only the most honest man I know, but his values and morals are set to a very high standard as well.

Below is an old picture taken way back during the Vietnam War in 1971. His job in the Air Force was to work on the electrical components of the aircrafts. He is now a retired Electrical Engineer.

Our Family

My dad married my mom in 1968. My bother was born in 1969 and then I came along in 1973. We grew up in East Tennessee. Both of my parent's came from large families so we had quite the extended family of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.

Family is the most important thing in our lives. I cherish my family.

I hope you enjoy the photos below of our little family.
