Happy Happy Birthday Daddy!


Today is my dad's birthday! I can't talk about how much I love my dad without getting mushy, though. For those of you that have not been blessed to know him, here are some of my favorite things about him:

  • He is a devoted father.
  • He is an extremely hard worker.
  • He can fix anything!
  • He doesn't let his eyesight (or lack thereof) slow him down.
  • He loves my mom (and has since they were 16).
  • He has always been very involved in my life.
  • He is a grizzly bear to others, but a teddy bear to his daughters.
  • He has stood up for his kids.
  • He loves ice cream almost as much as me!
  • He used to rock us to sleep while singing You Are My Sunshine.
  • He used to let me cry on his shoulder and still lets me call him and cry over the phone.
  • He adores his grandchildren!
  • He is now in his 60's and still doesn't have any gray hair!
  • He used to tell us the best stories about hunting snakes and nutria rats when he was a kid.
  • He looks up to Brandon (literally) and thinks he is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me (which is true!).
  • He loves me unconditionally!
Daddy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
