Joe Slyman is my father. I cannot express to you in words how blessed that makes me. I was the first out of three children my parents adopted. My whole entire life, that's thirty-six years, I've never once witnessed my parents disrespect each other or put each other down. I've been so lucky to have a father who set such a beautiful example all my lufe. That type of solid foundation is so badly needed now-a-days. He not only taught us to do the right thing, make good choices, be honest, have integrity, but he shows us HOW those things are done by the way he lives. He has sacrifised so much for our sake. He has good intentions fir everyone he cares about and wants ti see everyone be happy and succeed. He is loyal, humble, generous, patient, and if this world had more people in it like him, it would be so much better. He's not just a extraordinary father, he's an extraordinary man. Thank God for my dad!

We've all had people in our lives who have made a positive impact on us. A parent or grandparent, a sibling who was there for us, or maybe even just a guy who shines shoes for a living? Whoever they are, tell us their story so they can inspire us even more.
