Happy Father's Day

Father's Day is one of my favorite holidays. Mostly because I get to celebrate the best geezer on the planet.    I am the definition of a daddy's girl.  My dad is and has always been my best friend. Getting married was one of the hardest things I have ever done because it meant that I would suddenly be depending on Jackson rather than my dad.  It took me a long long time to get past that fact.    My dad is my rock. Growing up with an alcoholic mother, my dad always played both Mom and Dad.  He never missed a soccer game, never missed a track meet, never let anyone out-cheer him.  He was at every band concert, every performance and competition, every award ceremony, every homecoming, every prom, every graduation. He chaperoned dances, was the supervision at lock-ins.  He was never absent. Whether he was in the front row cheering or behind the scenes making sure everything was covered, he was there.  I really have no idea how he did it all.  

My dad instilled in me my values and my opinions, allowing me to make my mistakes and choices that would shape the woman I would become.  He taught me the importance of knowing who I am and knowing who I want to become. He taught me about being both conservative and ouspoken.  He taught me to love the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.

 

There really aren't words to say exactly what he means to me because it's as big as the world.  He deserves for every day to be Father's Day.

 

They say girls marry men like their daddies, which for me, is a great thing because I have the most caring, loving, giving dad in the entire world.
