Dad, you're the man! What can I say, you've made my life just all around FUNNIER. I can't even begin to tell you how much fun I think you are, you're mysterious and sharp like 007, cute and cuddly like Tommy Boy, fast and quick like Jackie Chan, skillful and deathly at a BBQ grill like an Iron Chef, and sensitive and loving like all your favorite Chick Flicks. I'll never forget some of the most fun memories I have of you- apple pies in packages, trips to Mc Donalds for hash browns, movies watching you laugh in the dark, the way you fall asleep in church and no one can tell (well sorta), the way your eyes crinkle when you smile, your "brothas-hey my man!" "indians- you gotta dime" impersonations, your famous "my kids are crazy" eye roll and sigh, when you cuss (it's so funny!), your super awesome storytelling skills, and many other things that make you so one of a kind. In all seriousness, I've learned the quality and value of being unseen and sly like a ninja, helpful and hard working like railroad workers, and loving... just like you and mom.

Thanks for all the ways that you show us you love us. I know that "do you need your oil changed?" is the way you say "I love you." =)

You never like to be the spotlight dad, but you really deserve to be there. You're awesome. He was so deadly in fact that his enemies would go blind from over exposure to pure awesomeness! We should hang out. Agreed.
