My father's praise is more precious to me than gold.

Hello all,

As I sit here with my computer on my lap, I recall the message on my calendar today. It is a simple statement, but it rings true with me. From the time I was old enough to work with my father, I only wanted to hear Good job Bud. Thank you for your help today. Sometimes I earned those words, sometimes Dad said them to keep me motivated to continue to do my best.

As I sit here, I think about all of the things I have accomplished since he has passed. Jennifer and I have moved into a new home. Our daughter has finished kindergarten. Zackary will be starting school next year. Jennifer and I have started a Quixtar business and building our team. I would hope that Dad would say that he is proud of me for what I have accomplished so far. I have miles to go before I am done with my journey. Today is just another step along that path.

I miss you Dad.
