LETTERS: MY FATHER'S LOVE

To the editor:

I am amazed by my father's love. While yet in my mother's womb, I was the apple of his eye. And his eye was always upon me as I developed and grew as a child. When I reached that age where one thinks that they know more than their father, he lovingly let me find out how wrong I was, and he was there to pick up their pieces of my contrite heart. His love has met my every need which includes my mate of 30 years. He let me be the father of three children which has taught me even more about his love for me.

I have found the ingredients which are needed to be a good father are: kindness, mercy, patience, and strength. More important than these, however, is love. Yes, I am amazed by my heavenly father's love.
