I have the greatest father in the world! While other kids fathers wouldn't take the time to listen, my father always did. While other kids fathers didn't want to play with their kids, my father always did, and as you can guess my father would always make time to spend with me, no matter how tired from work he was. I wasn't alone in my happiness. My two brothers had the same great father I did.

My father took his responsibilties seriously. I remember one time, when there wasn't much money. Instead of doing without for Christmas, my father sold his rifle collection so us kids would have presents under the tree. Now you see how great he truly is.

My father raised us to be God-fearing, educated, honest adults. He took all his knowledge of love, kindness, and understanding and passed it on to us. We all have the same great morals that he does. We always honor others thoughts, and always respect those around us, just as he would.

Combine my great father with the meanest mother in the world, and you have great parents. The ones that are looking out for you, helping you through life, teaching you to learn from your mistakes, and whom will always and forever be with you every step of the way.

Using this as a background, I will stand with my head held high, and always be filled with pride. Because you see, I thank God He gave me the Greatest Father and the Meanest Mother in the World!!!
