A man with a smile, a smile that hides his sorrows.

A man of bravery, not afraid or frightened to step up for what is right.

A man not afraid to cry, the tears slide down his cheeks and some are caught in his eye as he hears the words that are spoken so delicately to him.

A man of courage, courage to explore the unknown and the courage to walk away from the negative or toxic people that are or were within his life.

A man of kindness, giving to those who may not need it but walks away proud knowing that he helped someone that was in need.

A man of strength, not afraid to use his heart and not afraid to love freely and openly.

A man of pride, pride of which he is proud of, a son that he brought up and taught his ways, then watched as grew and served for his country.

A man with a story, a story that is intricate and golden with parts that bring sorrow.

You see, often we are mistaken by an appearance, but to me, that is where you meet the kindest and golden souls with hearts that live on their sleeves.

The scars on Our hearts, they tell the story, are you brave enough to take a minute and see what it’s all about?
