Mr. G

He hasn't changed much in 23 years.  When he came in to the 7-11 where I worked, just 23 years ago, he had been wearing much the same clothes on then as he's wearing today.  

Well, I shouldn't say that he hasn't changed, he has.  He's grown more comfortable with the person he is.  He's grown as a father and husband.  He's grown more patient of me too as time has gone on, which is a good thing....either that or I've changed and my perception of his patience has changed.  LOL  I'm more inclined to think the latter.

Sweatpants and a tshirt with no shoes (he's wearing crocs today) was what he was wearing when he introduced himself to me 23 years ago.

He's a strong steadying presence for me, comfortable in who he is, not caring to impress anyone.  In this picture you can't tell, but he's not feeling well.  He's getting over a cold that came with a fever.  When JL came up to him with a socket to let him know that he'd measured the bolt to unscrew to raise the zip-line, he could have told him, "Later Bud, I need to rest a bit before we get to work on that."  But he didn't.  He's such a wonderful father.  

Notice the shirt he has on?  

I am so blessed!
