Sacrifice means giving up something good for something better, at least that's what I've heard. But I know that Father's Day is not just a good day, it's a great day. It's the day every dad gets stocked up on breath mints, deoderant, and light-up ties. All the things that let him know what a great dad he is. It's one of those days not to be missed.
Last Saturday night, it became obvious we were not going to have time to get the trusses up and braced before everyone planned to head home for Father's Day Sunday. Despite my efforts to send everyone home after a monster weekend of building, there were several that insisted on staying through most of Father's Day to help raise the trusses. That wasn't just sacrifice. It was one of those rare instances of pure charity.
