Today is Father's Day and I honestly tear up b/c there are SO many things that i could say about my amazing dad. Here is how I (and many others) describe my dad:
Croley is like Indiana Jones+MacGuyver+some guy from the travel channel who goes all over the place and just soaks up culture.
Yeah...something like that.
One of those people who can fix anything or at least help you figure out how to fix it.
Coffee/Coffee Roasting skills-CHECK
Computer skills- CHECK
Math/Language skills- CHECK
Car building skills-CHECK
Travel skills- DOUBLE CHECK
My dad taught me to "Dream, GO, Do, Try, explore, challenge, learn etc."
He told me that "no education is a waste" and i honestly have been changed and all the better for that. He allowed me to embrace the unique way that God created me and not to let the world drag me down.
My dad laughs in the face of what the world tells you is right or wrong. Things like when i said, "Hey dad, i got offered the opportunity to go live in Argentina and study in a school for a month...but i have to decide this week. I am pretty sure that i want to go....what do you think?" Most people would say that is too rash. Too fast. Too unknown.
Go, dream, explore, learn, be challenged.
My eyes have been opened to a bigger world, a hard world,but a world where i want to embrace the opportunities before me and not let life pass by....
thank you Dad.
Thank you for believing in me and supporting me for so long.
