JUNE 30, 1962 John Calhoun Brassell III was born.
November 2, 1986 he became my dad.
That was 24 years ago, the age i am today. i can only hope that i can
prepare and live
to be just like him
now, usually i'm against bragging posts. but i know my dad likes to take a sneak at my blog every so often and his birthday is tomorrow, so i'm hoping he will read this (:
john III, my dad. what a great man!
in fact, i'm so grateful that he's my dad that i tend to share with with all my friends, and he has been a dad to many of them. just the other day the bishop asked me what i looked for in a guy to date and i said someone like my brothers who grows to be [someone like my dad]. i say, he sure is a jack of all trades. so well rounded of a guy, there is nothing he can't do! the man who says it's impossible, is usually interrupted by [my dad] doing it.
