| Artwork by my dad- Ron Scarbough |
As a child I remember making pictures and signing Father’s
Day cards for my grandfather, affectionately known as Daddy Bob. His gifts
included the typical monogram handkerchiefs or a tie.
Some of my fondest memories with Daddy Bob are
milestone times in my life. Occasionally he drove me to school during my middle
school years. He let me drive his Cadillac during high school. He drove me back
to school during college years, and he walked me down the aisle at my wedding.
It wasn’t until later years that I established a
relationship with my father. It was a great treat to have him make my
wedding cake. Some of my creative juices come from my father, as he is an artist
by profession. I should clarify by saying I don’t draw, but I do have a passion
for writing and other forms of art.
Today I send out words of gratitude to all of the special
dads (grandfathers, husbands, brothers, uncles) for all that you do.
WHAT MAKES A DAD
God took the strength
of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer
sun,
The calm of a quiet
sea,
The generous soul of
nature,
The comforting arm of
night,The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagles flight,
The joy of a morning
in spring,
The faith of a mustard
seed,The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined
these qualities,
When there was nothing
more to add,He knew his masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad
