Happy Father's Day

Father's day is great. Now that I am a dad it is even more meaningful. As a kid I remember giving gifts of crafts made in my class to my dad and waiting wide eyed at how he took them in. No matter what the gift (and how bad it was) he always unwrapped it with a sparkle in his eye and love in his heart.

Now that I am a dad I am on the receiving end of these such gifts.  This year I got the best present I have ever recieved. The teachers at my daughter's school are so amazing. They had the kids fill these pages out and had them do a drawing of the child and their father. It is a treasure to see inside you're child's mind and their perception of you. I am feeling very loved this father's day.

To my Pops, my dear friend. You are amazing and I love you so much. To you I give you this:

I love my dad because:

1. He taught me what it is to be a father.
2. He is always there form me.
3. He can always make me laugh.
4. He is the best listener I have ever met.
5. He is patient and loving.
6. He tirelessly edits my misspellings.
7. He will always pick up the phone no matter what time, day or night.
8. He modeled for me what it is to be a kind and gentle to others.
9. He always encouraged my creativity.
10. He brought me into this world and has never left my side.

The best to you on your father's day.
