Shelbi - Like Father, Like Son

My memory of John is something that I see every day as portions of him are mirrored by Matt. I am always telling Matt that he is doing something like his dad, which is a good thing. Before I was married people would tell me to marry a guy who's dad treats his mom well. This was to be a foreshadow of how he would treat me. So when I think about John this is what I see. I see Carole with her laptop doing her family history work and John standing there asking "are you OK?" "Can I get you a blanket?" "Do you want me to open the door?" Or he would be headed to the kitchen and would say that he was going to make her a little snack because she might be hungry. John is not only a wonderful husband, father/father-in-law but because he is wonderful he has been able to be such an amazing example to his kids so much so that they have carried on his loving personality.
