List the people you admire and look to for advice…

Well, growing up, I had the advantage of two dads, no, not the movie. My parents divorced when I was young, and both sets remarried, so I had two dads and two moms. They also got along very well, and many holidays were spent together or shared; there was never any contention or issues.

Because of that, I had two dads with different mindsets and life experiences I could go to at any time. One is gone now, and I miss his talks and advice terribly, even at 62. The other is still here, old and not as sharp as he was, but I still need his advice.

My wife is the other. She can sometimes be stressed by some of her own things that crop up, but she always comes ready and clear when I need her advice, and it is always rock-solid. I would say she is spot on on anything I ask and always available, she also has this uncanny sense when she knows I’m off she can sense it so there is no hiding. She knows just how to bring it out and creates a good conversation that clarifies any issue.

Those are my three. They are solid, spot on, and I don’t know what I would do without them. I hope I am able to offer this same counsel back to my wife when needed, and to all three kids when they need it.
