#FarrisStory: dad "has allowed me to be my own man while giving me advice along the way"

"My dad is an inspiration in my life. All my life I have seen a willingness in him to work hard, provide and even sacrifice his wants for the wants of his family. Growing up I never looked up into the stands at a ball game and not see my dad. He was always there to support me no matter the outcome of the game. It's been the same in life. He has supported me in the good decisions I have made as well as the ones that haven't produced the best of outcomes. He has allowed me to be my own man while giving me advice along the way. I have always valued his heart for other people. He has always been the type of man who has helped others in need. Seeing someones need and meeting it fully or contributing anything he could to help them along the way and often doing it in such a way that people never knew it was him. I hope in my life I can work as hard,give as much,and care for people as much as I have seen him in his life time. My dad is my inspiration"
