Father’s Day: Feeling Thankful
My Dad is–
- my Rock
- my Mr. Mom
- my up when I’m down
When I was little and we’d go on vacations, he’d call my room pretending to be “Throckmorton” my secret admirer (and I totally bought it!) When I was at camp, he’d send me letters cut up like puzzles or written backwards (when everyone else just got boring normal mail.) In middle school we’d brainstorm into the night, creating award-winning projects in his workshop. And he was always super cool — taking me to concerts like STING, MICHAEL JACKSON and JACKSON BROWNE.
My friends are all jealous, but they love him to pieces and many have actually asked to be adopted! Seriously! I mean it. He’s really that awesome!
When I get hurt, he’d makes it all better. When I book a job, he’s be my biggest FAN.
My Dad taught me —
- How to balance my checkbook (still kind’a working on it)
- How a man is supposed to treat a woman
- How to barbeque a perfect steak
- That problems are often small pebbles of sand
- How to turn the lights off when I’m not in the room
- How to use a labeler to organize life
- How to swim
- How to make the world’s best pancakes
- How to be thoughtful
- How to fix a broken toilet
- How to be generous
- “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right”
- It’s okay to look goofy when you dance
- “Problems are never as big as they seem”
He’s a hard act to follow —
Smart and Handsome (with a touch of “dork”) —
he makes me laugh when I’m sad…
and cry when I’m happy.
I’m about to go bake him his favorite: – PECAN PIE —
And tomorrow I’ll go remind him how lucky I am. ♥
