Feel-Good Friday: Dad Who Gave Up His Truck to Support the Family Gets a New One for His 65th Birthday

Tardy explains in the video,

Decades later, I’m now in a place where I can actually surprise my dad with this gift.

The whole story and his reaction is as sweet as it sounds. 

WATCH:

The influence of parental sacrifice is profound. My friend Kira Davis shared the lengths she and her husband Mark went to, ensuring their children could succeed.

If you are married you have a choice. I lived in the ghetto for 10 years. SAHM in the hood. Yes. We did it. It can be done. But most ppl who say it can’t aren’t willing to make the deep sacrifice. We are first generation wealth builders. We did what a lot ppl won’t these days. We sacrificed comfort.

For Davis, it was living way below their means and sacrificing creature comforts so that she could be a stay-at-home mom. I have met her now young adult children: the daughter just completed high school and is on her way to college, and the oldest son just graduated from DePaul University and already has offers lined up for a career in media. They are a reflection of what was poured into them, as Jenn Tardy is a reflection of the sacrifices her father made for his children. The great beauty of this is when children not only recognize and acknowledge the sacrifice, but also seek to replicate it. 

Each one, teach one.



It is clearly evident why this video went viral–this is the type of content the world needs. Some of the commentators on Tardy’s original TikTok video were concerned about the financing of the truck (excuse me?!) and whether her father would be able to maintain the payments. Tardy posted a second video on TikTok, thanking people for the video views and their concerns, but explained that she’s got this! It’s all good.

WATCH:

               

“Ain’t no car payments over here,” Tardy said. I know that’s right. Girl not only learned from Dad, but also Dave Ramsey. I love that Mama is expecting equal, if not better, treatment for her 65th birthday. Tardy is obviously an incredible gift giver and delights to delight the ones she loves, so I can’t wait to see the video of how she shows up and shows out for Mama.
