HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!

Since I live 2,500 miles away from my dad and can't just swing by for a Father's Day dinner, I thought the next best thing (other than calling him- which I did) is to blog about him and what a SPECIAL guy he is!!!

A few of the many characteristics I love about my daddy are.....

#1 His unconditional love! My dad has always been the support and backbone in our family, even with my very outspoken mother :) My dad has a loving and kind way about him and is very rational when many aren't. His sacrificial heart is a true testament to his unconditional love for his family! HE IS SO SELFLESS and has taught me to aspire to lead that kind of life.

#2 His gracious heart! My dad has always displayed a compassionate heart to his family and others. He gives and gives and never seeks a thing in return. Every Christmas season, he goes ABOVE and BEYOND in giving presents for the entire family. Yes, to all of his 6 children, 4 son/daughter in laws, and 7 grand kids. He has a BIG heart when it comes to making others happy! Thanks daddy!!!

#3 His wisdom! My dad has given me much wisdom throughout my 28 years of life. Whether it be from childhood- teaching me to share, or into adulthood- reminding me not to damage my credit score or always making sure I get my oil changed every 3,000 miles. I know it's simple, but I appreciate the small insights!

There are MANY other great qualities about my daddy! I sure do LOVE him and MISS him. I was always known in my family for being a daddy's girl! There is much truth to that, as I continue to sit on his lap like I'm still a little girl. There is just something special about a father/daughter relationship! What a WONDERFUL man he is and I am proud to have him as my DADDY!!!

Happy Father's Day, DAD!! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!!

Father/Daughter dance at my wedding. We danced to "What a wonderful world" by Frank Sinatra and Kenny G. Every time I hear this song, it brings me back to all the wonderful things that makes my daddy special.
