Here are the stories we aired Friday on Good Day:
"My name is Haley Warwick and I'm 14 years old. My dad is an amazing guy and I wanted everyone to know about him. My dad had to raise my brother & me alone sometimes. But he did a great job at it. He taught us how to fish & hunt & he never let our spirits down. I've always looked up to my dad. He taught me how to always be the better person & to stand up for what I believe in. Without him, I wouldn't be half the person I am today. My dad is one of the strongest people I know. I don't mean physically, I mean emotionally. No matter what is going on, he tries his absolute best to hold on through it. Not for himself, but for me and for others. Since I was 10, I've had a step family. All together there are 8 of us. My dad has his own business, Johnny's Heating & Cooling, and sometimes he doesn't make the best money. But he still supports and takes care of every single one of us and never disappoints us. I know sometimes I am not the best daughter, but he is always the best dad. Sometimes I know I might disappoint him, but he never disappoints me. These past couple of years he has had to deal with all my drama and even boyfriends that he doesn't like (ha ha). To get through all that sure is an accomplishment! I am very proud to call Johnny Warwick my father and I know that he will always be here for me no matter what happens. I love you Daddy!"
Haley Warwick
"My dad, Michael Lundmark, is the best man I've ever known. My dad works his butt off for me and I know I don't show it sometimes, but I am very grateful for everything he does. He'll make a fool of himself just to see me smile. I love my dad and will always look up to him. He is an amazing man that I am lucky to have for a dad. Thank you so much! I will always be daddy's little girl! I love you!"
Bryce
"My daddy has always been a hardworking, man devoted to his family. He is now 74 years old and still works in our church and is very active. He as always provided for us, as a dad and a poppa to his grandchildren.
If there is a definition of a loving provider it is my dad, who taught me to fish, and gave me my love of the outdoors. Even though his health is failing now he never quits, and doesn't know the word quit!
I love you dad and am proud to be your daughter.
Thank you for all you have done and are still doing for me and our family."
Love, Darlene, Judy, Bryan, & Mark your 4 grateful kids!
