Thanks, Dad

Tomorrow, my father will watch his beloved Detroit Lions play their traditional Thanksgiving Day game.

The Lions last NFL championship was in 1957. But Dad hasn't given up on his team. His faithful rooting each Thanksgiving of my life was a lesson in the importance of persevering even when no one expects your side to win.

Some people write to me and say "why don't you give up? Official English is a lost cause." That's not how I was raised as I watched my father's faithfulness to his team, his church and his family. Thanks, Dad.
