Dad

Happy Fathers Day!!

Please excuse the poor quality of the photo's, some are quite old and are therefore rather grainy.

My dad, as many of you know, is one of the most important people in my
life. I'm very proud of him, and talk about him often. I think he is amazing. I feel
kind of goofy writing this right now, not because of what I'm saying, because I've said
all these things to many people many times, but because I know my dad is going to
read it. I know that shouldn't make a difference, but it does.

So Dad, I guess this is for you. I know none of us say is as often as we should, but
we love you very much. We try to show it, and I know I'm not alone in this but
we are not very good at it. It's hard to say things like that to a dad. I don't really
know why, it just is. It just makes you feel kind of silly. We should say things like
that more often, but I guess we just take it for granted that you already know it.

I had such a hard time finding pictures of you for this page. The one at the top of
the page was taken when I was about four years old, and it's the last one I have of
just you. In all my pictures you are never alone, there is always someone with you,
hugging you, or sitting beside you, or talking to you, or just as usual, expressing in
our way, how much we love you. I suppose all those pictures really speak about the
kind of person you are.

Thanks for always being there for me. I remember when I first moved out, I hardly
ever got to talk to you, you were always at work when I was at home, we just kept
missing eachother. I missed you so much. Then one day I got a phone call from you
you just wanted to know how I was doing, if I was feeling alright, and how things
were going. I laughed and said things were fine, but they weren't completely. I was
so lonely. That phone call made my day.

That's how I always think of you. Your the only one who always seems to know
exactly what I need to hear. I am so proud to say that your my dad. I love you
more than anything. Thank you for being my dad. Because a dad isn't someone who
shares a set of gene's with you, but someone who shares his life with you. Thanks
always. I love you.

This picture was taken at the Forestry Farm Park and Zoo, when I was five.
