Synopsis

I am ninety-two years old, and as I look back over my life, I realize that the greatest gift my father ever gave me wasn't money, or material things-though he did leave each of his children eight acres of land. The greatest gift he gave us was himself. He showed us how to live. He didn't just tell us what was right-he lived it in front of us every single day.

My father believed in raising children with purpose, not just allowing them to drift through life. He taught us to read, to respect others, to work with our hands, and to stand on our own feet. He didn't send us to church-he took us, because he knew a child will follow what you do far quicker than what you say.

In this book, I am simply passing on what was passed down to me.

These are the lessons...

The memories...

The values...

The love...

That shaped our family for generations.

If my words help even one parent, one child, one family-then I have done what I came here to do. Because love is a legacy, and it must be taught, told, and shown.
