"My Dad"





My dad is an amazing dad. He always has been and I am sure he always will be. He is a very strong Christian with strong morals and great integrity. He has always been a very hard worker and has always sacrificed to make provisions for his family. He is kind, honest, forgiving, devoted, funny, loves to sing silly songs he remembers from his childhood, loves to collect guns and coins, he is a great story teller and I will never forget all of the "Big Red" night time stories from my childhood. He loves Mocha shakes from Arby's, his favorite sub is Ham and Swiss and he loves Tuna fish sandwiches, he is a saver, not a spender, he has always enjoyed yard work and is very good at it, he likes a clean house, he loved his Nanna very much and gets teary eyed thinking about her, he loves my mom more than anything and still gives her kisses in the kitchen and foot rubs every night, he loves giving great, big bear hugs and enjoys getting a back massage when I visit them, he calls my mom "Patty Sue" when she spends too much money, he talks to himself a lot, especially when working outside or working on a project at home, I like to think he is pretending he is on "This Old House". He is "Papa" to two grand daughters, one grandson and one more baby on the way. He holds a very special place in SB's heart. He is the father of three beautiful girls who love their dad and most importantly love the Lord. He has been through a lot the past couple of years, but he continues to believe in our God who is greater, stronger and higher than any other. I am proud to call him "Dad". Happy Father's day, dad! I love you!
