My dad just doesn't do anything half ass. That may not sound like much of a compliment, but, trust me, it is.
Let's see...
- He works and has always worked harder than anyone I know.
- He plays just as hard.
- He laughs hard and loud and makes me do the same.
- He can't even get sick half ass. Yep, it's all or nothing with him. He's either healthy as a horse or 3 months from dying. What a blessing that next year will be 10 years since that horrible (and thankfully wrong) prognosis. He loves life so much and his determination to live really made miracles happen.
- He loves more purely than I can even understand and his heart is bigger than the moon.
- He's fathered us since we were born and will always take that job as seriously as the first day.
- He fathered us through the death of our mother, his wife, with strength and grace that would bring you to your knees.
- He fathered us and 3 others as we all navigated a whole new world together in the years after.
- The icing on the cake is that he's done all this with a one of a kind (and sometimes inappropriate) sense of humor!
- Through it all, he has never failed to inspire me and I have never, not even once, in my life doubted that I was loved. And that's invaluable.
Like I said, I'm a lucky girl.
Happy Father's Day, Daddy!!
Love,
Hannabell
