Father’s Day

For all the silly made up words and the tickles and the funny nekked dances til we fall over laughing…

For all the times you’ve saved me from a bad day…

For the foot rubs you dole out generously…

For having more energy than should be legal at 7am…

For being up for any of my crazy ideas…

For inspecting the underside of leaves for insects and squishing what you find…

For being the one to admit school wasn’t working and helping us transform our life…

For crawling around on the floor to play…

For “cheating” at Monopoly…

For working when you don’t want to work simply because you love us…

For wanting to spend more time with your family than anywhere else…

For being the sexiest man ever in a red velvet dress…

For inside jokes…

And making our life possible…

For just being exactly who you are…

I love you. Happy Father’s Day.

And Dad,

For being their for my mom and for your children anytime, everytime…

For the biggest booming laugh…

For the compassion and tenderness you show your grandkids…

For being both the Grill Seargant and the Master of the Marinade…

For the corny jokes…

And the support show your kids and the pride on your face…

For forgiving your daughter when she habitually calls a day late on both Father’s Day and birthdays…

For being who you are…

I love you. Happy Father’s Day. Belated.

And to all the other awesome dads out there, I hope your day was as great as you all deserve.
