My father is reason for believing that the world is mostly good. He taught me that some people are so poor that all they have is money. He told me that above all else to strive for integrity. My dad told me that as long as we have each other, we have enough.
Ken was my Sunday school teacher, soccer referee, chief of our Indian Princess tribe, and the only dad who attended every brownie meeting and cheerleading competition while working a full time job. He taught my friends and the neighborhood kids how to surf and ride a bike.
Ken is a passionate and loving father, friend, and community leader. In the very limited time he has for himself, his greatest joy is being out in the open ocean surfing.
My dad is the strongest man I know - I have seen my dad scared only twice in my life. The first time was the day that he came home hours late after work six years ago. When my mom was upset and asked for an explanation, he told us a bicyclist had been hit by a car and was lying unconscious in the middle of an intersection. He jumped out of his truck into oncoming traffic before rushing the unconscious man to the hospital. We couldn’t believe it until we saw the blood and the bike helmet in the back seat of his car.
The second time I saw him scared was the day the doctor diagnosed my mom with cancer 3 years ago. They had been married 32 years and are still madly in love. It’s been a difficult journey to say the least. We joined a Relay for Life team and raised $17,000 for the American Cancer society in hopes that if we raised enough capital, maybe we could buy her more time. She is now in hospice care and in her last few weeks. My dad works around the clock while taking care of our mother, two daughters, and 5 dogs to keep the house together for his family during some of our toughest and most emotionally difficult days.
He never asks for a thank you and expects nothing in return. My dad has single handedly held our family together since the diagnosis and gives all of himself to ensure that everyone else is okay.
I am Ken’s youngest daughter, Brooke. My dad is my hero. He has never asked me for anything. However, he had briefly mentioned that if he were to lose my mom, he would like to go on a surf trip with our youngest golden retriever, Cruiser. I want to surprise my dad with a surf trip to Fiji on his 57th birthday this year.
He deserves to do something nice for himself when the time comes. He has given all of his heart, soul, and resources to take care of our mother...and I’m broke AF, so I can’t do it alone.
Please help!
