A Dad’s Tribute

How My Dad Is Awesome
By James Burton, age 13

(printed with his permission)

Of all the wise, witty, intelligent dads out there, none can come close to my Dad. He’s always full of knowledge and wisdom and shares it with us all the time, so I don’t grow up a mindless potato. He’s taught me so much about God that I practically have to put corks in my ears to keep the knowledge from running out. He can crack a good joke, too. There have been many moments I squirted soda out my nose just from one of his funnies. He also makes it a point that we function as a family so we don’t grow up with grudges and we sincerely enjoy each other’s company. And when I was a wee tyke and had scraped my knee up, who was there to comfort me (and tell a joke or two)? Dad.

Thanks, Dad.
