I've witnessed your dad on more than one occasion stop and help a stranger with a car repair and when he didn't they could afford the parts, he'd buy them himself. He was honest and giving. And his love for his family made him do what few others ever do...admit he had a problem and seek help.Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115704751652270450.post-45941131255064208052012-06-13T15:09:45.281-04:002012-06-13T15:09:45.281-04:00Thank you Emily.
