Even though at times he can be a man of little words, and talking on the phone can seem like I am pulling teeth, I still feel lucky to call him dad! My dad has shown me the importance of honesty, forgiveness and compassion. Growing up, I never heard my dad talk bad about anyone, and he has shown us that we should be grateful for what we have. He showed us the importance of hard work, and that sometimes it may be difficult, but you should just work harder. He proved to us that the world wouldn’t always be on our side, and that we needed to learn to deal with it and move on.
My dad was also always the one who said NO! Which now I realize was a very difficult job! I always have to laugh when someone says, “Alright Larry” or “You sound just like dad!”
Dad, I love you, and I am so happy that we have you! You are a great dad and a wonderful grandpa to Drake! You have the perfect balance of fun and blunt honestly, that makes us feel loved, but yet keeps our butts in line!
