A Father's Wish

Margaret Hope 1961 (Nebraska)

What is one wish a father has for his children when they are grown? To find a job they like and enjoy. Maybe have children of their own to come and visit. To let him know how much he was appreciated as you were growing up.
A father does a lot for his children but never expects anything in return. To him just having you over for a visit is good enough for him, or a simple "I love you Dad" and I thank God for a father like you.
