My cousin’s husband, Eli. I think my cousin is great, but she was a party animal when she was younger. She ended up pregnant with his baby, and Eli stepped up to provide. He went from working at red lobster, to becoming a financial manager, so he could provide a home for my cousin and their now 3 kids. He is a very steady person and has inspired me to get my act together so one day I can be A provider as well ---

David Goggins. He overcame himself A man who endured everything from a violent abusive upbringing in dysfunction and poverty, racial discrimination, obesity, and overcame it all by bettering himself one second, one minute, one hour, one day, and one year at a time. He did it scared, he did it alone, he did it without help, but he overcame himself. ---

My wife’s father. Extremely intelligent, always making sure the family is going to church on Sunday, selfless, great public speaker, hard working, confident, and many other things, always the best at putting work aside when spending time with family, and many other things. He’s a true gentleman. My wife told me she reminds me of her father, which is one of the reasons why she said yes to marrying me. So I hope one day that I can be just like him. ---
