What can be said about a Man that treats you with the upmost of respect even when you are so nervous about knocking on the front door that you present him with the flowers that were meant for a Beautiful young Lady. I remember when that same young lady jokingly called him Butch and i thought i was going to get popped. This Man. This Special Man should always be called Dad. Thank you for the talks, the advice and wisdom. I hope to never disappoint you because i have that same respect for you Mr Bynum. Much love to you always Dad.
