Better than Superman

"Love looks not with the eyes." -William Shakespeare

When I was a little girl, I was like what most girls thought of their father.. He was superman.. And I really liked superman. He raised 13 kids and if you count the Nichols kids who were around a lot, he had a influence on them. He's a fearless leader, a example of our father in Heaven. Timothy means honoring God which describes my dad to a T, He lives to honor god and hopes that all 13 of his kids and their spouses follow and love God their whole life. Growing up I loved hearing stories of my dad childhood and compare the difference he is now than as a child. He may not have thought that he would grow up raising 13 children all with different personalities, moods and philosophy on life. But I don't know any other father who raised 13 with such wisdom and endless amount of grace and love.  He has a side of him that he thinks is quite amusing. A comical side that brings out the kid in him.  Most of the time you roll your eyes (but don't actually do it in front of him, he hates eye rolls) and pretend to not smile and hold your laughter. He is a laughter, he makes people laugh even if they wonder why they're laughing.
Most people write sappy happy father's day post about their dad being the best dad in the world. I have father that continues to become a blessing to anyone and everyone in his path. He has shown what it means to love unconditionally. Even if it turns into a sappy post about my dad..I'm truly grateful for the sacrifices and Love he continues to give even as I'm an adult.
