Story: My father survived pancreatic cancer! Unfortunately, there aren’t too many people in this world who can say that. It was more than 14 years ago on May 13, 2009 that he underwent an 11 hour Whipple surgery to remove his pancreas as well as other parts of his abdomen. I remember the date vividly because it was on that exact day that my first son was born! My father joked with the surgical team that he was having the C-section while I was having the baby. What makes it even more amazing is that initially the doctor was hesitant to even consider performing the operation. It is a very complex surgery (my dad was 73 at the time) and the recovery takes a full year. He did not think my father was a good candidate, but thankfully my dad convinced him otherwise. This surgery and the entire process epitomizes my father; he defies the odds and just keeps fighting. We are nearing 15 years and at 87 he regularly golfs 18 holes and he insists on walking instead of riding in a cart. He also refuses to allow us to hire someone to cut the grass and he clears the snow off his driveway that is large enough for 6 cars. You would think he’s some sort of Goliath but the funny thing is my dad looks pretty unassuming. He’s about 5’10” and he probably weighs about 150 pounds. He truly is a juggernaut because he doesn’t let anything stand in his way. He is an unstoppable force. I am one of three girls and you can bet I am so thankful that he is my dad. He has taught me to face life without fear, believe in myself, and to persevere even when the odds are against me. The best part of it all is that he is never braggadocious. In fact, every couple of years he takes the time to hand write a letter to the doctor who performed his surgery because he wants him to know that he is so thankful he performed the operation and that he is still alive because of him. My father is an amazing role model and I dare someone to stand in his way!

Story: Embarking on a hiking adventure to find the perfect fishing spot, my dad and I were armed with our fishing gear and a sense of excitement on a beautiful summer morning. The trail wound through the lush wilderness and we set off sporadically. The dense canopy above us filtered the sunlight as we trekked further into the forest, leaving a path of gold in its wake. Sharing stories and laughs, we reveled in the rarity of our father-son adventure. As we walked for an hour, the tranquil river glistened like diamonds in a clearing that came into view. We were drawn by its beauty to cast our lines and reel in fish, so we ventured down the steep slope with excitement. This oasis was too appealing to pass up.

A massive brown bear emerged from the undergrowth with a sudden rustling sound as we reached the riverbank. Little did we know that nature still had more excitement in store for us that day. Our attention was immediately caught and we froze in our tracks by the powerful presence of the bear. My dad's protective instincts kicked in as the bear locked its piercing gaze upon us, reflecting a mix of curiosity and hunger. Time seemed to stand still as we locked eyes, heart racing. Acting swiftly and cautiously became our top priority. Backing away with utmost tranquility, my dad signaled for me to follow suit, fearing any hasty actions might summon the bear's fury. Together, step-by-step, we took the same route we had come, hoping the bear would be diverted and forage elsewhere. We were constantly on the move with our adrenaline pumping, heart racing. Every small movement of the forest had us on edge feeling the chills go down our backs. Our surroundings were pure untamed wilderness, and we knew that we had to have a balance of respect and fear. Our panting and fear kept us trudging on until we eventually couldn't hear the bear chasing us anymore. We stopped to rest our eyes, always skimming for any upcoming threats. It was a long moment of uncertainty before we finally registered that we had gotten away from the bear's grasp. Our spirits remain undamped as we press on, determined to locate another fishing location. Our sense of anticipation swells as we delve further into the forest. Little did we expect our persistence to be so greatly rewarded. A hidden gem was waiting to be discovered. Suddenly, amidst towering cliffs, we caught a glimpse of something truly extraordinary, a secluded lake nestled amongst a break in the trees. The inviting water was so clear that it seemed to hold secrets from ancient times. This was the spot we had been searching for all along. My dad and I swiftly prepared our fishing equipment and threw our lines into the glistening water. While we waited in the midst of nature's pure and unblemished scenery, we conversed happily, exchanged tales, chuckled, and also enjoyed moments of silence and thoughtfulness. As the sun was about to set, the hours ticked by without any luck. Then, my dad was startled as his fishing rod took an abrupt lurch. With a quick movement, he reeled in his line and a stunning rainbow trout appeared from the depths of the lake just as we were deciding to pack up and leave. The fish's size and vibrancy had us beyond excited. It was proof of the resilience and perseverance we had shown, making our triumph all the more sweet. This memory would be forever etched in our hearts, and we couldn't help but celebrate. As we made our way back home, we packed up our gear and reflected on our encounter with the bear. It was a stark reminder of nature's unbridled beauty and capriciousness. But, perhaps more significantly, it was put on full display.

Story: My dad has been on a relentless search for our genealogical ancestors his whole life. As a little boy at the family reunions he became hooked as he listened to tales of his ancestors. Since then (for over 50 years) he has searched libraries, courthouses, clinics, church records, DNA analysis, German records, and contacted others with our family name online to find more "puzzle pieces." He recently had a huge breakthrough and has found the German city of our 8x great-grandfather who came to America. I would love to go there with him to see it in person. The church (built in the 1200's) where our immigrant grandfather was baptized in 1720 still exists and still has services in it! Amazing. It took my dad over 50 years to find the town we're from but he was unstoppable in his pursuit.

Story: My father is a true force of nature. He's a veteran of Operation Desert Storm, and has spent his career protecting our community as a law enforcement officer. Despite all the challenges he's faced, he's never lost his spirit or given up. I've watched him tirelessly nurture and support my mother through 3 different bouts with cancer, showing his unwavering commitment to his family. Additionally, he fostered and adopted a very troubled sibling group of 3. His determination is inspiring and I strive to emulate his resilience.

Story: In a small town nestled between rolling hills there lived a man named John. He was a simple man with big dreams and an unwavering determination to create a better life for his family. From a young age, John had seen his family struggle, and he vowed to break the cycle of hardship that had plagued them for generations. John's days were long and arduous. He woke up before the sun kissed the horizon and worked tirelessly to provide for his loved ones. Despite the challenges that life threw at him, he remained undeterred, fueled by his unwavering love for his family. John's dedication was evident in every aspect of his life. He toiled in a factory, where the monotonous hum of machinery became the soundtrack of his determination. The grueling hours never seemed to faze him because he knew that every ounce of effort he put in would eventually lead to a brighter future for his wife and children. His coworkers admired his tenacity and unyielding spirit. They often marveled at his ability to face every obstacle with a smile on his face. John became the beacon of hope in their lives, reminding them that anything was possible with enough perseverance and unwavering dedication. But it was within the confines of his humble home that John's true strength shone. After an exhausting day at work, he would return to his family, his fatigue forgotten in the presence of their love. His children, wide-eyed and eager would gather around him, hanging on to his every word as he regaled them with tales of hope and the promise of a brighter future. Despite the financial hardships, John never let his family go without. He would sacrifice his own needs to ensure that his children had food on the table and clothes on their backs. He believed that education was the key to a better life, so he worked multiple jobs to provide for their schooling, investing in their dreams with every penny he earned. As the years passed, John's relentless pursuit of a better life bore fruit. His children excelled in their studies, driven by the example set by their father. They understood the sacrifices he had made, and they were determined to make the most of the opportunities he had provided. John's unwavering dedication did not go unnoticed. The community, inspired by his resilience, rallied behind him, offering support and encouragement. They recognized that his commitment to his family was a testament to the power of love and determination. And so, the years rolled by, and the family's circumstances began to change. John's children graduated from college, securing promising careers. The seeds of opportunity he had sown had blossomed into a bountiful garden of success and happiness. Through it all, John stood tall, a pillar of strength and unwavering dedication. His unwavering spirit had created a ripple effect, inspiring others to persevere in the face of adversity. He had become a living testament to the idea that one person's unwavering dedication could change the course of not just their own life, but also the lives of those around them. As the sun set on another day, John looked at his family gathered around him. My family, their smiles radiant with gratitude. The struggles and sacrifices were but distant memories, replaced by the joy and fulfillment that comes from knowing that you have created a better life for those you hold dear. John's story is a testament to the incredible power of unwavering dedication and love. It serves as a reminder that, no matter the obstacles that stand in our way, we have the strength within us to overcome them and create a better future for ourselves and our loved ones.

In the event of a tie, the tie will be broken based on the highest score in the first judging criteria (Inspiring), continuing thereafter to each judging criteria in order (Creativity, Writing Quality, Uniqueness), as needed to break the tie.
