Photo

For Father’s Day I wanted to find a picture which really depicted what my Dad was all about. I must have gone through dozens of photos. Some young….some old (ahhh…I mean errr…more recent), I finally came upon this one. For as long as I can remember Dad has always been one of the hardest working men I have ever known. Even with all the hard work Dad always kept the family in the center of his life. Whether we were building a new home to move into or traveling cross country, he always found a way to include everyone. When he and Mom moved to southern Alabama and started building the home they would retire to, he always had help. There was always someone showing up. One of us kids, Dad’s brother, Mom’s brothers or sisters….someone was there to lend a hand. Not that Dad had to ask but we showed up because we were family. And if there was one thing Dad taught us….family helps out and sticks together. It’s the one lesson I always try to keep in my life. Through good times and bad…family will see you through ( and help with manual labor when needed). This picture is of Dad and Uncle Duane. Even though Uncle Duane lived hours away, he didn’t hesitate to show up and help Dad. As you can see….the Pullen boys were even having fun doing a little carpentry. That’s how it has always been with Dad. When you think you might have a long days of work ahead of you, Dad always had a way of making you smile and feel like you were working for a greater cause. So on this Father’s Day I want to thank my Dad not just for all the houses he built for us, but for the home he always made it. A safe, loving and happy place which filled my heart with the happiest of memories. Happy Fathers Day….we love you Dad!
