Happy Father's Day!

MY DAD

DAD, I love how you would:

• play catch with me in the street and help me practise my softball pitching
• play "run by tickle tie" with us
• play "Monster" and almost make us pee our pants. That game was so intense!
• tell us stories of your camping days in the Utah mountains
• read to me and play "look-a-look-a-look-a-look"
• let me snuggle up to you real close on the bed as we read books. I am sure that was hot and uncomfortbale!
• teach me how to solve problems and concerns I had, especially in middle school and high school
• give a Father's blessing before each school year

DAD, I love how you:

• canceled or didn't go to an important work meeting so you could go to one of my senior events
• asked Mike a bunch of questions about himself the first time you met him
• found our apartment for us in GA, and even offered to buy a home and then let us rent it from you
• go to bed early and rise early
• ask for the same gifts for each birthday, Christmas, or Father's Day
• are consistent in writing in your journal
• are consistent in setting goals for yourself and evaluating how you are doing with those goals
• let me read some of your journals
• are so positive in your journals
• love mom
• made it to all my sporting events
• set up our family vacations and scheduled such fun events
• took us kids up to the mountains before school started. It was such a great time to get away from everything and feel peaceful before the madness began with school and our sporting events
• lead our family

Dad, thank you for all those countless moments where you put my needs and wants in front of yours. I know I am a daughter that is loved by her father. And that is priceless. I love you! Happy Father's Day!
