No he is not my father, but he is the father of our 5 children while taking on 4 of them which were not his own, but he treated them as they were and to this day they all consider him “Dad”.

No he is not my father, but he is the symbol of a good father should be because he was raised not only by a good and caring mother, but a good and caring father who both shared incredible values.

No he is not my father, but he was my first beau and has remained that way as we head towards our 80’s and all through those years he has continued to grow and increase his knowledge and awareness of the world and the people in it while quietly sharing it with others.

No he is not my father, but he has always been an understanding and forgiving man whenever I did something stupid, mean, dumb or crazy.

No he is not my father, but he has always bragged about my accomplishments as if he was not only a husband, friend, but a proud father while continuously encouraging me to expand my horizons.

No he is not my father, he is just Carl!
