We asked our readers to share the wisdom from the dads and father figures who shaped their life.
Joel Gonzalez, submitted by daughter Pastor Kristina Gibbons
“My dad always told me be careful who you marry. You are not just choosing a person, but the quality of your future.”
Tom Stevenson, submitted by daughter Jaime Lane
“Work hard, be patient, get all the facts first, think things through, and know I’m always here for you and proud of you… but honestly, if I don’t know, go ask your mom.”
Lawton Neely, submitted by daughters Tara Gilpin and Annah Matthews
- “He said never burn a bridge or destroy a relationship with someone because you never know when you will encounter that person again.”
- “It takes years to build your reputation, but it can take less than a day to destroy it. Your character matters.”
