My Hero

My dad has had some great adventures in his life. Like being a football coach, graduating from college, and having KIDS! My dad’s name is Clark Darin Parson. He is my dad, and so compassionate, humble, and wise.
My dad is the most compassionate person I know. He congratulates me for how well I throw the ball. He congratulates me when I do well on tests. He congratulates me on how I get better in baseball.
For as long as I can remember, my dad has been so humble. He doesn’t brag about his job. He doesn’t brag about how much money he has. He doesn’t brag about what he accomplishes quickly.
Lastly, I admire my dad because he is incredibly wise. My dad is wise with his words because he thinks about what he is going to say before he speaks. He is wise with his actions because he does not do drugs. My dad is wise with the choices he makes.
These are the reasons why my dad is so compassionate, humble, and wise. I’m so glad that my dad is my dad because he works hard and he loves my family. I hope that I will be like my dad. For example, I want to have a family that’s for sure.

What a great testament to his Dad. He sees who Darin really is. I'll bet Darin enjoyed reading it.

I love it! This just makes me want children even more. I want to know what they will say about their daddy someday. Oh, and I love the part about how he is wise because he doesn't do drugs!
