Chivalry- Wanted: Dead or Alive

"When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife." ~anonymous

     I saw this quote on one of my favorite websites, www.thinkexist.com,  and it made me think of my dad. And dad, if you're reading this, I meant that to be a good thing!
   
 My daddy is one of my favorite superheroes. I may be a grown up but I call him daddy and I believe superheroes are real people :) Don't judge me!
  
  My parents have been married for 35 years. When I am with my parents and we go somewhere together, my dad opens my mom's car door, whether she's getting in or out. He opens her door for her walking into places. He works his butt off to make sure my mom is taken care of. My brother has picked up on this as well. (Good job, Justin!) These are just a couple examples of many things that are becoming lost to a society where we can not slow down and appreciate the little things.
   
     I asked my dad why he picked back up on the gentlemanly gestures. And he said "Why not?" That these were things he should have never stopped doing just because they are married.
  
 Thank you Dad for all you have done and continue to do for this family!! You are loved and respected and I am proud to call you my father. Happy Father's day!!
