Mark emailed us with his nomination and we wanted to share it with you:
Hi there,
My hero is my dad. No matter what has happened, good or bad, he never gave up on anything. It’s because of him that I am who I am today. I followed my dreams because he believed in me and taught me to believe in myself.
I love what I do… I’m a truck driver and always dreamed of doing this when I was growing up. I loved joining him out on the road and remember sitting in his lap steering, going down the highway! 'Till this day, no matter how old I get, it feels great to hear him say, he loves me. It instantly makes me feel like a kid again!
Thanks, Dad. I love you, too!
And, thanks for sharing my hero story! Parents can make all the difference in a child’s life!
Signed,
Mark
