  • Includes me when there are things to be fixed (e.g. the crawl space)
  • Snuggles me
  • Reads books to me
  • Bathes me
  • Walks me to school
  • Goes with me on road trips
  • Makes sure I know my extended family
  • Challenges me with math problems
  • Demonstrates how to do a proper push-up, so I can learn fitness

Passes along Grandpa Nehring's teachings on God.  Never pushing or forcing me through the door to enlightenment - just shows me that the doors in open, shares the stories/teachings, and when I am want... I can enter.

Thanks Dad.
