#1 Dad & Grandpa
My Dad is my Hero and complete savior. Without him I don't know where I would be today. 3yrs ago I gave birth to a beautiful girl named Taylor. Her father chose not to be involved and I was left to raise her on my own. Except I haven't had to do that for a single day. I work for CP Rail as a Conductor so I have no set schedule. I sometimes get called to work in the middle of the night and can be gone for up to 48hrs making it so my Daughter spends just about as many nights at my parents house as her own. She has her own room there with clothes, toys, ect. My Dad is a Barber in town and his Days off are Sundays and Monday's. He used to spend those days hunting,golfing,fishing ect. Now if I am working he watches my Taylor for Me, which also includes taking her to gymnastics on Mondays. And I know he wouldn't want to do anything els. He looks forward to everyday that I go to work cause it means he doesn't have to add another day to the list of days he's been away from his granddaughter. And out of the 1080 days that my daughter has been alive my dad has only gone 47 days total without seeing her. He absolutely hates adding days to it. Being able to depend on my Dad has allowed myself to keep my job, my house, and give my daughter the life she deserves. I can't imagine anyone else on earth that could possibly be more dependable.

nancyzier He is always gabbing about his little Taylor. He phoned me at work the other day to try and arrange a golf game with Monty around caring for Taylor. Next thing I know he put her on the phone, now I'm talking to Taylor at my work. She couldn't figure out a tee time any better than her gramps. Give this guy a truck!
judy.dickson0 My daughter's and I were just discussing the other day how we used to go to Marty to get haircuts way back in the 80's. He is a wonderful barber/hairdresser and was such a pleasant person to talk to when you went to get your hair done. He is a great guy and you are a lucky daughter.
