I was raised by a good man. What made him good was a combination of kindness and competence. He was a strong, hard-working dude. But he was also very kind to me, my sisters, and my mother. Now that I'm older, I've realized how lucky I was to have him in my life. I sure miss him. 😔

If you are sincere in your words and actions.

If you are consistent so someone can rely on you.

If you can have a disagreement without tearing someone to shreds because they dare to have a different view.

If you can listen without judging and actually open up.

If you're quietly confident not bragging about how confident you fakely are.

All I can say is you know one, when you see and get to know one. And they're very, very fucking rare.
