For those of us who’ve lost our father’s this year, specifically Heather<\/a> and myself, I thought I’d repost a section of one of my Thursday Thirteens from 2006.<\/p>\n

Things my father taught me.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Multiplication tables.<\/li>\n
  2. How to take pictures with a manual camera.<\/li>\n
  3. Love of reading.<\/li>\n
  4. The world does not stop spinning if you don’t get your own way. If you want something, you’ve got to earn it.<\/li>\n
  5. How to use a computer (including programming) – Which I think highly influenced the fact that my first career was computer related.<\/li>\n
  6. There are three sides to every story – yours, mine and the truth.<\/li>\n
  7. True charity doesn’t require a tax receipt.<\/li>\n
  8. Believing in something doesn’t mean blindly following all elements of a doctrine. It’s possible to have faith and work to be a good person without attending church.<\/li>\n
  9. It’s possible to forgive the worst mistakes of your children – even if you never forget.<\/li>\n
  10. Never to ask anyone to do something you are unwilling to do yourself.<\/li>\n
  11. Never hold anyone to a standard you are unwilling or unable to meet yourself.<\/li>\n
  12. The more I learn, the less I “know”. Learning is continuous, never ending, and often cyclical and that’s ok.<\/li>\n
  13. Never let a moment pass by where you can tell a loved one how much they mean to you. You may never get another chance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I miss you dad. Rest in peace.<\/p>\n
