As I have wandered the blogosphere, I have discovered many outstanding blogs. From time to time, I'd like to share my discoveries with my readers and I can think of no better way to start than to introduce to you the blog, My Funny Dad Harry written by Karen Zemek.
Initially, I discovered "My Funny Dad Harry" when I joined Entrecard. While scrolling through various cards, I came across one with a picture of an elderly gentleman with a large stuffed lion ("Leo") seated on his lap. The card caught my interest at once and off I went to click on the link.
I discovered a blog written by a woman to honor her father who had passed away. The blog alone stands as a testament of love to his memory and it is filled with marvelous facts about a man who lived a productive, interesting life. But as I read further, I discovered Karen has actually written and published a book about her Dad.
Karen has a full time job, is active in her church, takes care of her husband and has many and varied outside interests. She made the time to take her precious memories of her father and put them into written form. I have this book "My Funny Dad Harry" sitting next to me today and as I read its pages I am filled with admiration for Karen's achievement. But beyond that and more important is the love Karen has for her Dad and her effort to share this marvelous man with the rest of the world. Her book is touching, poignant, humorous and a truly great read.
I hope you will take the time to visit Karen's blog and learn more about her Dad. Karen, you are an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for sharing your Dad, Harry Arlettaz, with us.

I look forward to visiting yours again.

Your review prompted me to check the blog, what society needed nowadays is a strong family. Without a strong (godly and principled) dad, this is not possible.
