HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

My father used to play
with my brother and me in the yard.
Mother would
come out and say,
"You're tearing up the grass."
"You're tearing up the grass."
"We're not raising grass,"
Dad would reply.
"We're raising boys."
Fathers Day Quote by: Harmon Killebrew
In Honor of My Daddy
Jewell Edward Bush

| This is how I remember Dad coming home from work each day...through the side kitchen door. We all (four siblings: Marcia, Gloria, Bret and Terry) met Dad every day at the door. Here is my brother greeting Daddy. Copyright 1958 Marcia Norwood. |
When a father gives to his son, both laugh;
when a son gives to his
father, both cry.

I begged Dad for stories from his childhood. My father, Jewell Edward Bush, was born March 18, 1922, the ninth of eleven children. He rarely talked about his family. When he was two years old his father died while working in the coal mines. His mother was pregnant. She remarried and had more children.
Dad’s stepfather made living very difficult for him.

When I was a boy of fourteen,
my father was so ignorant
I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be twenty-one,
I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.

One night a father overheard his daughter pray:
"Dear God,
make me the kind
of person my Daddy is."
Later that night, the Father prayed:
"Dear God,
make
me the kind of person my daughter wants me to be."
