FATHER’S DAY continued from page 15
little black pony alongside Speed and his horse, even if the weather was less than optimum. “Her mother would never tote a phone around, so when I was gone, I could never get ahold of my wife,” Speed said. “I told Hali, ‘If I could get you a phone, would you keep it charged so I could get ahold of you?’ She said, ‘Yes, Daddy.’ She was 2 or 3 years old; she was always a little businesswoman, so I got her a phone. “I raised my kids to try to think as adults and give them the opportunities to make mistakes while I was around to educate them through that and learning. She’s been a very easy child.” There’s a no-nonsense way of handling things around the Williams home, but nonsense seems to find its way in. Take Gabe, Hali’s little brother. He tends to keep things light. There’s not really any pressure to live up to Speed Williams’ name; it’s all she’s ever known. Jennifer is the encourager, the person with the strong hand to keep Hali lined out, while Dad offers his wisdom.
He also keeps things light in his own way. One of Hali’s cherished moments came when Jennifer and Gabe were gone, and it was just Hali and her dad. “He comes in there and asks if I wanted anything for dinner,” she said, a smile cracking through her voice. “He was going to make spaghetti. He’s got noodles on the stove. No meat. No sauce. Just noodles. I had all this excitement, and I realized that I could make noodles myself.” She will tell that story the rest of her life, and she’ll laugh at the comedy of plain spaghetti noodles for dinner. Mostly, though, Hali Williams will honor her father for the lessons he has provided to her and the love he continues to share with her. “I think the thing that makes him the most special is his try,” Hali said. “He gave up his career for me and my brother. He raised us the way he wanted to. I think that means a lot.”
