Celebrating my Dad’s 85th Birthday!

There is no greater gift than time with your father and today I was able to spend the entire day with my Dad who just turned 85 years old. My father is not famous, he is not rich, but he is my dad and he is the MVP in my life, that is for sure. Enjoy this podcast of my Dad and I with a couple Old Fashioned’s in hand as we go back to his start in Durango, Colorado and how he joined the army, met my mother in Germany, married her in 1959 and then built a home and future for all of us with what he had to work with - mostly hard work and always being there for us despite all of the challenges.

He is a great man and I am so glad to have had the time to share this moment and capture it in our podcast Inspiring Living. If you get anything out of this it is to take the time to spend some time with your Dad if he is still alive, and if not find those in your life that matter to you and go deep, connect, be in the moment, and say thank you.
