my dad is good. my dad is smart. my dad is honorable. my dad is no-nonsense.
one time, for his birthday, instead of us giving him presents, he gave each one of us a present. at the time, i was obsessed with beanie babies, but had yet to acquire one of my own. imagine my joy when i opened this up:
i still have it, not just because it's cute. because it reminds me of the kind of man my dad is--he's the kind of man that thinks about other people, and puts their needs before his own. i have countless memories of him secretly paying for peoples' food at restaurants, picking up hitch-hikers, and offering to help me with my math homework. my dad is the kind of person who just wants to do what is right. i couldn't ask for a better example.happy birthday, dad. i love you.
