Happy Birthday Dad!

This birthday wish is a couple of days late because we were gone to Kansas City for the weekend for a basketball tournament.

What is a Dad?

A Dad is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one
of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong
In all that you do,
a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.
And each year that passes,
you're even more glad,
More grateful and proud
just to call him your dad!
Thank you, Dad...
for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you!
Happy Father's Day.

Thank you, Dad, for the countless wonderful memories I have of time spent with you. When I think of you, what comes to mind most is:

Your sense of humor...
Your funny little dance...
Cartwheels in the mall...
Going for walks...
Playing Phase 10 (or other games)...
Going shopping...
Grabbing a Starbucks...
Watching movies...
Talking on the phone (multiple times a week until you're sick of me)...
Just sitting around talking and relaxing...

The older I get, the more I appreciate my dad and everything he does. I love you so much!! I hope you had a very happy birthday and I wish we could have spent it with you.
