Strongest Dad Alive



















I grew up my entire life fully believing that my dad was the strongest man alive. I remember even getting into fights with other kids at the playground arguing, "My dad is stronger than your dad!" To me this wasn't just a things that kids say. My dad could pick anything up no matter how big. He could carry me, my brother and my sister all at the same time! He would protect our family against any robber, bad guy or monster bare handed. He truly is the strongest man alive.

Yesterday at work a client was telling me how her father is was once the strongest man alive. I instantly reverted back to being the girl in the school yard. I actually got offended that she would make up such a lie. I mean, obviously, that wasn't true... because my dad is. I stumbled over my words for a minute and replied something to this effect, "uh uh um, well, err, i mean, how does one gauge or judge that?" She told me he competed in a world wide contest, totally legit.

It quietly broke my heart. Her dad is stronger than my dad. :(
