Loving Life

I've always been quite the "Daddy's girl". I have a really great relationship with both of my parents and love both of them equally, but both for very different reasons. On this Father's Day, I feel so lucky to have such a great dad. He's the most patient man I know, continually showing kindness and love to everyone, even those he doesn't agree with or could easily shun. He is a man that take the higher road and cares so much about the well-being of others, especially his family. He's a loving and caring father that sacrifices so much of what he wants to make his children happier.

When others tell me how great my dad is, I can honestly say back, "he really is; he's a really, really good guy." He's my favorite person to talk with about politics, religion, and any other hot topic, not only because he's a great conversationalist, but also because he is very open minded, yet grounded. He has a great perspective on things and tries to see both sides of the picture...and is patient in listening to my slightly more liberal thoughts. Whenever I get stumped in conversation or someone asks a question I can't answer, or I want to know about something, I almost ALWAYS call my dad. I feel, at time, that he is a walking encyclopedia, full of a wealth of knowledge that I could never dream of ever obtaining! He once told me, he often will just look things that I ask up online as we are chatting, so he can better answer it. However, I still feel that he's got endless knowledge and I like that it always gives me an excuse to call him up at any time of the day.

 

 At times I know the sacrifice is a lot for him, but always greatly appreciated! My daddy is such a great guy! Happy father's day, Dad! I love you!
