Happy Birthday, Dad


My superhero.
I always say that my dad is the greatest man I have ever known.
And he is.
He introduced me to "The Claw" (which my boys now have as their own childhood memory).
He brought CCR, James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac and many many more into my life.
He made me love music.
Always believed in me...lifted me up.
I could/can tell him anything. Anything. No matter how disappointed it would make him. I knew I could tell him.
He showed me what a father should be.
I'm laid-back like him (most of the time?). I have his blue eyes and his thin hair.
I luckily inherited his weirdness and sense of humor.
He told me to be level-headed...think before I speak.
But more importantly, pray.
Pray when I'm at my worst, at my best, when I think I need nothing, when I think I need everything, when I'm at the bottom, when I'm at the top, when I'm in-between.
To listen to God...and to wait.
His faith in God is never-ending. It is truly the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed.
He is fearless.
I am the luckiest most blessed girl because he is my dad.
I love you, dad. You did good.
