My dad is the same way, he is so good to our family and very responsible with running our business. I love him very much for teaching us four girls the importance of being responsible in everything we do. Thanks Dad!!

Roy Rogers was my childhood hero, and also for my son, and now my grandson. We have collected almost all of his old movies, because these teach how to live a better life - "the Cowboy Way."

This is very inspiring and your dad was sure right about telling you to take responsibility for what you do and in his own way.

Taking Responsibility as a father is the greatest value you can demonstrate to children as they grow up - they see it and recognize it - and hopefully you have set an example for them to follow! Great Story !

Thank you for sharing. It is wonderful to hear hero stories about our fathers. I also have a wonderful father who is very responsible, caring and sensitive. We just have to highlight more often those wonderful men in our lives.

That is a very good quote to live by. Being responsible is probably one of the most important qualities for someone to possess.

Perfectly agree! My mom always told me that if anything is worth doing, then it's worth doing right. My pops would also always back my mom up and say stuff like take pride in your work. Something I'll for sure pass on to my kids.

Responsibility, just like the cowboy way, are always asking us not to take the easy way, making our lives glorious to our audience.
