That's a Good Dad!

Let me tell all of you out there about one of the best dads in the world. Mine.

You know what makes a good dad? It isn't that he says or does everything exactly right. It isn't that we have never fought. It isn't that we agree on everything that the other does his life. None of that matters.

Let me tell you what makes a good dad. He talks about my blog on his blog. He scrapes the frost and ice off of my car early in the morning, not because I couldn't, but because he could. He gets excited about baseball, when it is time to get excited about baseball, even when I am not quite yet excited about baseball. These are things that make a good dad.

He isn't perfect, but he doesn't pretend to be. We may fight, bicker and disagree on a lot of things. But you know what a good dad is? He is a dad who you know no matter what happens in your life, you can knock on his door at 5 in the morning and he will welcome you home. That is a good dad.

Dad, thanks for being a good dad! Happy birthday too! (you aren't old, just ripening!)
