pre - Father's Day

Still reading The Way of the Shepherd and wanna share this part of the book that truly touched my heart.

"One Sunday afternoon after I got my driver's license, I took his car without permission and nearly demolished it. When I got home, Dad was waiting for me. I thought the sky would fall. The first thing he did, however, was grab me and hug me close. I was totally shocked. He had tears in his eyes. Then, of course, about the time I thought I was going to live, I thought he was going to kill me. I never forgot that he hugged me first, though. I had to work the entire summer to pay the car-repair bill, but I always knew it wasn't the car that he cared about. It was me."
