Many of you don’t know this about my dad, so I wanted to share a little on his birthday. From the time I was a baby, my dad raised me by himself. Of course he was blessed to have a support system, especially my grandmother and aunt, but I always look back with so much gratefulness in the sacrifices he poured out each and every day to give so much to me. Our lives weren’t flashy. We grew up in a single wide trailer, sometimes without A/C in the heat of south Ga summers. He drove around whatever beater he could get, and always kept it going as we would expect. And he kept grinding. He had a vision to own a shop and although all odds were stacked against him, he made it happen. Somehow this man ran a shop, coached my hockey teams, and raised a son. And if you know competitive hockey, you know how much time has to be dedicated to it.
Does this mean it was easy? Not at all. The shop struggled A LOT. There were times when things didn’t look good. But he persevered through it all and slowly it began to be built to where it is today. This isn’t just 28 years of work since owning the shop. This goes back to his teenager years. He was always a grinder. He always had the work ethic. I’m grateful that he has passed on those ethics to both myself and his grandchildren. I’m grateful for him and everything he has done for our family. So thank you Dad. And hope you have a great birthday!
