::attribute: perseverance::
My dad is in it for the long haul. He knows how to push through adversity and continue living life. I can't tell you how many times life got hard for him, really hard, but that didn't stop his quest for happiness. He has faced almost any trial out there: bad health, family hardship, death, and financial issues. But he has gotten through them and learned. He is a great example in this for all who chose to grow and learn.

::Attribute: Honesty::
There are people out there who have a knack for brutal honesty, and there are those who avoid honesty like the plague. My dad, however, has a perfect balance of both, as he can tell you what he thinks and not be brutal about it. I think it helps that he is so caring and just wants what is best for the person. He is gentle and kind. This helps in his interactions with people especially when discussing a sticky issue. I like it when he speaks his mind, as it reeks with wisdom.

::Attribute: Creativity::
Okay folks! This man has to be one of the most creative men ever. I don't quite understand how God could bless him with so many creative juices coursing through his veins. He can do it all, and has incredible handwriting to boot. I am blessed to have received just a drop of his creativity, but I can thank him for most of it!

::Attribute:Interest::
Since I was little I always tried to be the best: the best grades, the best free throw, the best daughter. In some I succeeded (I have decent grades) in some I did not (lets just say I'm not particularly athletically blessed), but through all of it I had an excellent father who always encouraged me on. He continually rewarded my success with praise and rewards. All I wanted to be was the best for him. I wanted, and still want, his approval, as any daughter wants from her father. Even when I failed (literally I failed an upper division math class) he was still there with encouragement and kindness and knew that I could over come it. He reassured me that it was alright to fail. "It's part of life" he claims. And he is right, and I did overcome it, because of God and the great people He put around me, like my father.

::I must tell the world::
Hello all those out there in the blogger world....(and daddyeo)
I cannot keep it to myself anymore. I have the worlds greatest dad! He is wonderful, nay magnificent, and this sentiment is bursting out of me in hopes that you would also recognize his terrifical nature! I hope that my the words in my posts will show you maybe just a glimpse of what he means to me!
