Growing up, I always knew my family was a little different — my dad was already 42 when I was born. In the 1970s, that wasn’t common, but what truly set him apart wasn’t just his age. Behind his modest, outdoorsy demeanor was a man who quietly built success, stability, and opportunity for us — without ever flaunting it.
He taught us through presence, encouragement, and humility rather than pressure or pride. Looking back now, I realize just how much his choices shaped who I am today. 💛
