Because of my dad......
Just a little shout out for my pops.
Because of my dad:
I will always be a fan of Larry Holmes.
will always respect Bart Starr and the Packers.
SOMEDAY NEVER COMES by Creedence Clearwater Revival will always be my favorite song.

It made me stronger. I actually learned how not to do things because of him. He was a reverse roll model.USMILMAN wrote:Sorry to hear that.tainos wrote:My brother I grew up with no pops.

What's the story behind this Astor? Was he an environmentalist? A hitchhiker? Rides a motorcycle? You've peaked my curiousity.
To add my own:
I'll put my kids first, as he did.
I'll always have a strong appreciation for and interest in literature.
Sports will, in some capacity, always be a part of my life.

Because of my Dad.....
I know exactly how I want to raise my children...which is the exact opposite of how he raised me.

I know that I want to be more concerned about my relationships and freindships than I ever am about money. He's about the money.
Because of my Dad.....
I am expressive of my thoughts, feelings and opinions and try to keep open dialouge w/ as much honesty as I can. He does none of those things.
