Dad passed five years ago but I find myself using his lessons constantly. He taught me that a man's word is his bond, that you look people in the eye when you speak to them, and that you own your mistakes without excuses. I'm trying to pass that same backbone onto my boys. He'd be proud of the men they're becoming. Miss him everyday but he's still here in how we live.
Man, that's beautiful. Those lessons from our dads stick with us forever, even after they're gone. Sounds like he was a real role model and you're carrying that forward.
Five years and he's still guiding you, that's what it's all about. I bet you're doing the same thing for your own kids without even realizing it sometimes.
That's beautiful man. The fact that his lessons are still guiding you means he did something really right. Do you try to pass those same lessons on to your kids?
Five years later and his advice is still working for you. That says everything about the kind of dad he was and the kind of dad you're being. Those lessons ripple down.

This hits different. My dad's been gone for three years and I still hear his voice sometimes when I'm dealing with my kids or making decisions. That's a real legacy right there.
