So Many Reasons

Let's keep the Father's Day ball rolling and here are just a few of the many reasons to be thankful that the Silver Fox is my dad: 
  1. He's funnier accidentally than most people on purpose. 
  2. He brought home Krispy Kreme in the mornings to send me off to school. 
  3. He made every family vacation note worthy. 
  4. He supported my quest to win a Tom & Jerry prize by sending in post cards for months to TBS.  He also supported my desire to have my coloring featured on the local news by "Coloring The Weather With Mike Graham!" 
  5. He randomly brought home people and told us they were family. It's nice to meet a new cousin every week. 
  6. He was just as excited about zoos and amusement parks as we were.  
  7. There is NOTHING he doesn't think can be grilled. And only hurricanes can prevent him from grilling. 
  8. No matter how irresponsible I was with my lunch money and allowance, he never complained when I ran out of either. 
  9. He showed me that real men do cry and they aren't afraid to express their love. 
  10. At 64 he doesn't want to slow down. As much as it may annoy me at times, I'm more grateful than I've ever admitted.
