My dad may be the strong silent type, but I couldn't have asked for a better father. I know that no matter what happens he will always be there for me! The best times of my life growing up were the days that he coached my soccer team. I still pass soccer fields on the weekends and see all the kids and parents out there and wish that I could go back to those days. How much patience must a man have to coach a bunch of pre-pubescent and teenage girls? But he never complained! I hope that one day I can marry a man like him!
My dad had some "quirks" when we were growing up that make me laugh now. People think it was child abuse that my sister and I were not allowed to dunk our cookies in our milk. We had to bite the cookie and then drink the milk; otherwise, it made too much of a mess! Even nowadays, don't ever think of touching the walls in the house or not using the handles to open and close cabinets! It's even fun to move things around the house and see how quickly he notices! I shouldn't talk too much because I inherited some of those quirks!
My father is not a big phone talker so anytime I call him his most frequent line is "what else?" So because I don't often get to say it to him, I'm putting it out in the universe that I wouldn't change anything about my childhood! My father is the best father around and I couldn't have asked for anyone different. Love you daddy!!
Notice how much more gray hair he has?
What a special birthday gift! Love the pics.
