I'm a little late but want to send out a birthday wish to my DAD whose birthday was yesterday. He's so far away and I wish I could wrap my arms around him and tell him Happy Birthday. I've come to realize that no matter how old I get I will always need my dad. I have so many things I associate with my dad-here's just a few of my favorite.
-he is the most fabulous whistler.
-he has a sweet tooth like no other-he always has a candy stash hidden some place.
-his pockets always had a pocket knife, a coin purse, and a smooth rock.
-he always called me Lipsy as a young girl, and I find it very endearing.
-he has been and always will be my moral compass on what's right and wrong.
-his opinion matters-I value my dad's opinion like no other-I always want to know what my dad thinks about things.
-he likes his naps-he takes it very seriously.
-he has a love for classical music-I remember every Saturday waking up to opera or classical music played very loud.
-he is the smartest person I know, it seems he knows about everything-we could never beat him at the country game(a game we used to play in the car on road trips where we would go around in a circle listing all the countries we knew of).
-he has seen the world and always wanted to see and learn something more.
-I've never heard him speak badly about someone else.
-if I sit and picture my dad anywhere, it would be sitting at his desk in his library or out in the garden working.
-he is the very best listener I know.
I think I'm a pretty lucky girl to have such a wonderful father- I cannot put into words how much I look up to him and love him so very much. He is pretty exceptional. This year I wish him all the happiness he deserves.
Happy Birthday Dad
