I don’t often get the chance to say how grateful I am for my dad. People who know me know that he is my hero- he’s the person I can call to talk to through work stuff, ask for help with wifi that won’t function or listen as I drone on with my latest theory on monetizing AI. He’s the guy who made me keep track of my expenses one quarter at a time in a ledger sheet when I was 7 and the guy who would buy me any book I wanted so long as I read it. He was the guy I called when I needed someone to come get me at 2 am and he showed up, no questions asked. He’s the guy that sat up with me in his PJs while I cried about a sh*tty night. He’s the person who taught me to pull my weight, mean what I say and stay sharp (and have a sense of humour and humility) no matter what life throws at me. My life, my sense of self worth, my sense of safety and assurance has always been my dad. He taught me what a good man is (it’s you Matt McGowan ) and what life is truly about- joy, living in a way you can be proud of while also putting your family first. He has been a nurturing example of marriage, manhood and parenting and I am so so so grateful to be Stephen Kisber’s daughter. I am so proud of you daddy, so thankful for all you have done and continue to do and all the lessons you have taught me while somehow still maintaining a sense of generosity, grace and spiritedness. From the Daughter- happy Father’s Day, daddy. I love you. ♥️
