Daddy's Girl

This is my autobiography of a self-made man's self-made daughter. I am proud to be the daughter of my Swedish-born immigrant father. He never felt fear of failure and he always Persevered and persisted in his dreams. Life is a slow process and he pushed through all his trials and he taught me to do the same both by word and by example. I had good Christian parents. The Lord gave me the courage and strength to rear four beautiful, strong children that I adore. The Lord saw to it that I was able to publish three books with His help. I have tried to live by Philippians 4:6 (NIV) which is "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." And to be content with every situation in your life Philippians 4:11b. "Be content whatever the circumstances." 12b "being content in any and every situation." And John 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled, but trust in God; and trust also in me (Jesus Christ)." Dad's actions made me want to try my best and try to accomplish as much as I could even if I had to teach myself along the way. That's why I feel I am truly a "Daddy's Girl". I'm very proud of my accomplished children and grandchildren today. They felt education was important and always strive to be successful. I have been through a lot from losing the joy of my life, Gene, to Alzheimer's and my precious son, Jeff, to cancer. After writing my second book, "Perseverance and Persistence" about my Swedish immigrant father, comes my autobiography, "Daddy's Girl" from a man who taught me perseverance and persistence.
