As a little girl grows up her heroes are never the same. When I was younger I had my heroes, and the
people I wanted to be just like as I grew up.
Yet as I have gotten older my heroes have changed, they have never
stayed the same for long and they always let me down in the end. Yet from the moment of my first breath to
this very second and for eternity and beyond, I have one hero who’s never left
me, never let me down, who’s always supported, and has always loved me
unconditionally. And who will never
leave me to wonder where I stand in his life.
This man does not have a name that will blow the world away, but the
name he has taken for this lifetime stands for who he is and will always stand
for who I am and he holds my world together.
This man is my Daddy, Stephen T. Huls.
He is solid in all he does, and he does it with a pure mind and with
good intent, and he always gives his very best.
I look at him and I want to be just like him. My dad is one of a kind, and he has a
complete original mind that could scare, or confuse the smartest of men. Yet
that mind of his is full of strange, silly, amazing, mind blowing ideas that
have played a part in the foundation of my life. I am one of five children, and we all
describe him with the same words. We all
hold him with the same amount of respect that he has always shown to us and to
our amazing mother and grandparents.
When he talks we listen, and when we talk he listens. My Dad can be described as, unique, strange,
dedicated, honest, blunt, a patriot and some would say insane. But as a father he is so much more to us
children. He is a father who gave up
things he wanted for the benefit of his children. He has given up his dreams, to help us create
and accomplish our own dreams. I could never
ask for a better father. Dad I wrote
this for you, and I wish you a happy birthday with lots of love your daughter
Emma Joy.
