Happy Father's Day!


My dad rocks.

My dad is the funniest person in our family. He is always up for a good laugh and a good time. He has worked hard and sacrificed and put his children first for the last 34 years and continues to do so every day. He never missed an event in our entire lives. I can vividly remember him in his suit standing on the sidelines of every soccer game. He hauled me all around the tri-state area for what seems like millions of soccer tournaments, and was there to hand me the hair spray at every cheerleading competition. I get a lot of 'me' from my dad- and I'm proud of that. He taught me to work hard, always, even when you don't like your job. He taught me that you can't give up- on a job you 've started, on people, on yourself. He taught me to stand accountable for my actions- even if they were wrong. He taught me to treat others with respect and the whole concept of this 'responsibility' thing. He never sugar coated things for me, which always gave me a sharp since of reality. I am grateful for that. He has built more things for me than I can count. I compare everyone's spaghetti to his- because it can't be touched.

Daddy, thanks for always checking my car before I hit the road, and washing it for good measure. I can't promise that I take as good care of it as you did- but I try:)

Happy Father's Day Pops! I love you!

Until Next Time,
The Guff

  1. So true! Only, I'm not 34 yet. So, say 33 1/2 years. :) We have a great Dad!
