Today is my Dad's birthday. I wanted to take a quick moment to post some of my favorite things about my Dad and tell him just how much I love him. . .
Some of my Dads favorite things are: Diet Coke, Haystacks from Mrs Cavanaughs, Mixed Nuts from Walgreens, Apple Pie, Shrimp Salad, Wingers Wings, Lava Hot Springs, Golfing, Fishing, Massages, Vacationing, Surfing the Internet, coin collecting, hunting, eBaying and the list goes on. However, if you have ever been anywhere with my Dad you know he can make a friend for life with ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. I remember being younger and hating stopping to get gas, going out to eat, being on a trip, etc with my Dad. WHY? Because we would all be in the car waiting for him to finish talking to some person he had never met before and was now going golfing and/or fishing (or both) with next week. However, now I LOVE that about my Dad. People can see right away what a great person he is and want to be around him. He is the most knowledgeable person, the most unselfish person and the funniest person I know. I can think of hundreds of times he has helped me in just the last few months (millions in my lifetime). He is always the one I call on when I need advice. He will tell me where to buy my tires, where to deposit my stocks, he shows up at my house just to help me fix my sprinklers, mow my lawn, fertilize the new grass, take care of our dog, and this list also goes on. Not only that, but he is the BEST Grandpa in the world. Carlee knows that she will always get a big love from "PA" and sometimes even a treat or a dollar or both. The older my Dad gets the more he reminds me of his Dad, my Grandpa Adams (who was an awesome and fun Grandpa to me like my Dad is for Carlee). I love you so much Dad. I hope you are around for many, many more birthdays. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
