#19 Who do I Admire

This blog would have been a lot easier to write twenty years ago.  I have thought for an entire day trying to figure out who I admire.  I think the older I get it is harder for me to admire someone as a whole package.  Now there is a lot people that have individual traits that I admire quite highly but trying to think of one that I would give them the title of I admire them in full even with all their faults is rough.  Ultimately I came up with my son.  He is five and he is everything I would hope he could be.  He has unconditional for all of his family.  He is loyal and honest.  He has a great attitude towards life and has nothing bad to say about anything.  We recently got a puppy due to my daughter’s persistent nature.  Nobody in my family wanted the dog except my little girl.  If were going to get a dog it had to be small and of the nonshedding variety.  Well those kind of dogs are expensive.  My daughter had saved up $291 for Disneyland and decided she would use that money towards a new puppy.  Well puppies are running for $500.  With my daughter getting more and more discouraged my boy comes to me one night and says “Dad I will give you my money for Paige to get a dog.”  I asked him if he wanted a dog.  He said “I don’t care if we get a dog but I know Paige really wants one so I will help.”  For a five year old to have that much compassion for his sister nearly made me cry.  Needless to say we went and got a dog and yes I ended up paying for most of it, I just made them pay 100 bucks each.
