When I see him put his hand on Spencer\u2019s shoulder when he\u2019s talking to him and how he smiles really big while he tells one of his stories. (Yes, the stories we\u2019ve heard a million times.)\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n<p>3. He doesn\u2019t judge people and gives them the benefit of the doubt. I have much to learn from him.<\/p>\n<p>4. He has a very playful personality and a sense of humor. He can handle being the brunt of our jokes and has taught his kids this very same trait.<\/p>\n<p>5. His perseverance.<\/p>\n<p>He has been a painter his whole life, but at age 74, he had to give it up due to macular degeneration. He also had to surrender his license because of it. But he has an electric bike that he loves riding around town.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50354\" src=\"https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/0e47086d-4834-b28c-bc40-07de6bb1bc89-300x259.jpeg\" alt=\"Kim's father.\" width=\"400\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/0e47086d-4834-b28c-bc40-07de6bb1bc89-300x259.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/0e47086d-4834-b28c-bc40-07de6bb1bc89-600x519.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/0e47086d-4834-b28c-bc40-07de6bb1bc89-1024x885.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/0e47086d-4834-b28c-bc40-07de6bb1bc89-768x664.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/0e47086d-4834-b28c-bc40-07de6bb1bc89-1536x1328.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/0e47086d-4834-b28c-bc40-07de6bb1bc89.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Father&#8217;s Day is not just a day to honor dads; it&#8217;s a celebration of the profound impact they have on us, our families, and society as a whole.
