MY DAD

Gentle and Kind,
Integral and Loyal,
A Man I am proud and grateful to call My Dad.
Selfless with time,
Constant with love,
Funny and Faithful,
One of the hardest workers I have ever met, My Dad.

He can cut a rug like no one I know-
My favorite "Mexican Jumping Bean",
and all the aunts' favorite dance partner, My Dad.

He will give you the shirt off his back,
and work late into the night to help family or friends,
whether it's a Science Fair "Ice Castle",
a softball roster,
troubleshooting something mechanical,
or woodworking homemade desks from scratch:
a perfectionist at heart, My Dad.

He is a kid at heart,
always and forever 'having the last - and funniest!- laugh';
In fact, that contagious laugh remains a trademark
and one of the most endearing quirks about My Dad.

The jury often remains out
when he's with the Grandkids-
Who has more fun?
You'd think it would be the little ones...
but then again...
gotta love My Dad!

I never doubted his love or immense pride,
He lived to bring joy to his family.
A smile, a shy tear in his eye,
a bear hug, a note on the counter in the morning-
he never had to even say a word, and we still knew-
oh, how he loved- and loves- his family, My Dad.

As I now pour myself into my own children,
I reflect back on my childhood
and all the precious times I shared with My Dad;
Because of him,
the first 'man in my life',
I embrace my vocation as a Mother,
equipped with confidence and full of joy;
And in doing so- I better understand and appreciate My Dad.

Happy Birthday to a tremendous
man, father, and grandfather.
You are loved deeply by your family.
Thank you for giving us the immense Gift
of your Love and Time.
