Happy Birthday, Dad!


For those of you who don't know, I have the best Dad in the entire universe!

(Of course, I share him with three other siblings, but, whatever.)

Here are some of the things that make my Dad wonderful:

He always came to our activities, usually straight from work, even though I know now, as a parent, that he probably really wanted to just be at home in bed.

He has the best laugh. Especially when he gets going so hard that it turns into a wheezing, silent laugh. It's hysterical. If you can get him to laugh like that sometime, you really should. Hysterical.

He's absolutely brilliant, and has passed on his passion for life-long learning to the rest of his kids, and even to some of his grandkids. (Reading computer books by the pool. That's all I'm saying).

He has a tender heart.

He loves playing trains with his grandkids.

He has written some of the most lovely letters I have ever received.

He honors his Priesthood.

He's a hard worker.

He makes the coolest grass circles with his lawn mower in the back yard!

He has a very kissable forehead.

His cooking is phenomenal!

He loves my mom.

Facial hair.



Happy Birthday, Dad. I really love you. Thanks for being so fantastic.

Thanks for the kind words, even if they weren't all merited.
