Dad Appreciation

Respect to the posters who are busting their arses trying to be the best father they can be. I hope to be in that position soon and that I can be half the father my own is

When I was young, my dad worked on the barges in New Orleans and my mom worked in the bakery of an A&P grocery. Neither had a college degree.
My dad taught himself tax law and has been running a successful small accounting business (him and two of his brothers) for about 35 years. He has actually acted as an attorney for clients in court against the IRS 3 times and won each time

While mothers day is already past, my mom worked her way up into managing the off campus book store for USL (sorry....I still have a tough time thinking of it as ULL) and later on the retail bookstore for SLU

I hope that I can be the kind of inspiration that they were/are someday
