Dear Tom,

Good morning tom, Sybil and J! I am excited to nominate my stepfather Ishman “Bo Show” Dudley for this week’s Real Father Real Men.

When daddy “bo” asked my mother for her hand in marriage 20 years ago, he promised her she would always have a roof over her head and she would never go hungry. He has truly kept his promise and so much more.

In 2004, my mother suffered from a heart attack and had to undergo quadruple bypass. He was there every step of the way during her recovery- feeding her, bathing her and assisting her to the bathroom. All while still working his full time 7-days a week job! Even today, daddy works 7 days a week + holidays.

Tom, I pray that you select him. I would love for him to have the opportunity to take a trip and a well- deserved break from all the responsibilities he has. If he gets to go fishing, I know all 3 deep freezers in his garage will be filled with the fish he catches!
