Like Father Like Son

I can remember a time in the first year we were married that we were driving in the car and we came to a stop at an intersection. When the light turned green the car in front of us didn't go. There were honks behind us and some voices of frustration and Lamon got a little flustered and mumbled something. I had to admit I was annoyed at the car too. But wait, it only took a second to realize that Lamon wasn't annoyed at the car that was holding everyone up . . . he was frustrated with all of the impatient people around us. He then got out of the car and helped the driver push the car out of the intersection. What a man I had! I was proud. Well, things like that have happened on plenty of occasions. There was a time this last year that there was some really nasty weather. One night there was a dinner planned at Lamon's parents house for all of the adults. The roads were absolutely terrible. It had snowed a ton and it was super icy. Cars were getting stuck all over the place. Well on the way to Mom and Dad Mack's house there was a car that got stuck and Lamon pulled over and got out and helped out. It was so icy that the driver of the car actually slipped and fell multiple times. It was crazy. Well, we ended up being a little late to the dinner. But the coolest thing was that when we arrived and explained our tardiness, it came to light that each one of the Mack boys had actually done the exact same thing. Everyone had stopped and helped a car that was stuck in the snow while driving over to the dinner. I don't know if anyone else there thought much of it, but I was truly touched as I looked at those boys and my inherited Dad! They learned this attitude of rendering aid from their father. Those boys were well taught and now I was blessed to be a part of it. My boys are watching their dad now and will learn by example as well. My father-in-law is such a great man and I love him! Thank you for raising such a wonderful man! Happy Fathers Day to my Dad Mack.
