In honor of my dad… a 10 things post.

  1. He was very kind. He would go without and not complain, ever.
  2. He was so funny… he did not have to try hard to get a good laugh.
  3. He loved us. In that papa bear kind of way. His family was everything to him.
  4. He was well liked. He had many friends from the guy who owned the gas station to the mayor.
  5. He was incredibly human. In all of the good ways… he knew how to walk on this earth and be kind to his fellow man.
  6. He gave me the best step-mom a girl could ever wish for.
  7. He played professional football… for a brief time. He loved sports and passed that love along to his kids.
  8. He was a proud grandpa Tiger. He loved my boy… he was the first person I told that I was pregnant (after D of course!)
  9. He had a very special place in his heart for me. I know that with every fiber of my being. He showed me that many times over… and I only really noticed that as an adult.
  10. He was the best dad for me. He knew me… and he was proud of me as a daughter, wife and mother.

Dad, I miss you every day. I love you so much……
