best dad ever!

No matter how big the problem, my Dad is the deep reassuring voice of calm. Even when he’s not with me, he’s in my head saying —

Everything’s gonna be okay.

When I’ve got a problem, he always compares it to a pebble —

If you hold a pebble up to your eye it looks really BIG — but when you throw it out as far as you can, it just becomes another grain in the sand.
