A Letter to Daddy

[I know I'm two days late with this post, but since I spent Sunday with my dad and not on the computer and Monday at work, I think you all will understand!]

Dear Dad,

Happy Father's Day! Thank you for being the best guy I know and such an inspiration in my life. The list of things and lessons you have taught me during my short 21 years of life longer than you probably know. Because of you I know how to make French toast, can watch endless hours of the History, Discovery, and Science channels, have fond memories of days spent at the park fishing, and can water and weed a tomato garden like a pro. The best advice you've ever given me is that the answer is always no unless you ask and I know that my faith wouldn't be half as strong if I didn't have yours to look up to. 

I appreciate the time you take to answer all of my silly questions about the world around us and the generous laughs you give to my jokes that probably aren't that funny. I love the time we spend together in the evenings watching Jeopardy and I love even more the time we spend watching "my" TV shows and movies. 

Thank you for constantly making me feel special and loved.
I hope to spend many more Father's Days with you!

Love,
Bug

PS. I promise you'll get your gift as soon as I find time to go buy it. Yay procrastination!
