IT'S DAD
Okay..okay...okay dad's typically do not fly. But they have a lot of other super powers and today is the day to celebrate those powers. And everyone knows that the best way to celebrate dads is to thank them for all the crazy things they've done for us over the years. And I happen to have a dad who has done soo many amazing things for me, that I need a whole blog post to thank him for all of them. So grab a box of tissues and sit back and read on, for what promises to be one of my sappiest posts yet.
Dear Dad thank you for...
1) Teaching me when and how to be silly.
It's because of you that I know how to relax. To stop working and just have fun. You've always given me a safe place to just be me. To not have to worry about being judged or loved. To know that even if I look like an idiot jumping on the trampoline, it'll be fun with you. Because, we will look like dorks together.
2) For teaching me about sports.
I know I complained about this a lot...but seriously, one day the useless amount of knowledge in my head about what makes a good first basemen and a why the Dodgers suck, is going to land me a hubby. Plus, it just brings an extra layer of happiness and opens me up to having another thing to talk about with other people. Besides...it kind of grew on me..I guess sports are okay ;)
3) For teaching me what love looks like.
Dad, from the time I was old enough to know what I wanted, I've always wanted to be around you. Because you always made me feel so loved and special. Whether I was watching Barney or waiting for a bedtime story, I've always wanted my Dad. Thank you for doing those things with me. For showing me that when you love someone, you watch even the most boring of tv shows, and read the same story to them 1000 times. That you hold their hand when they cross the street, and you listen to them talk, even if they are talking about different breeds of rabbits. Not only in the way you have loved me, but in the way you have loved mom. You and mom have always showed me what love looks like. Thank you for setting my standards so high.
4) For doing whatever I asked you to do.
From supervising field trips to dressing up like a bar of soap to go to a dance with me, to building me a rabbit cage, to fixing my computer for me from 12 hours away. There's never been a limit to what I could ask you to do for me. You are the best.
5) For teaching me to work hard.
You never let us give up. You told us that can't never could do anything. And that we had to try things at least 100 times before we could say we didn't like them . You always pushed me to do better, to be better, to try harder, to be the best I could be. You taught me to always be the best I could be. To always represent. I am so much better of a person because of you.
6) For always working hard to give me everything I could want.
I know you always work hard to give us everything we could ever want. You have taken us to do so many fun things and let us do so many cool things. So thank you for working all those long hours to give us those experiences. The are best things you could have ever given us.
Dad, these reasons are only some of the 10000 things I have to thank you for. You are truly the most incredible dad in the world. It will take a lifetime to thank you for everything, but here's a good start. I love you, Dad. Happy Father's Day!
