i don't know what else i can say about my dad
that i have not said before...
funny and sweet, smart and creative...

i absolutely adore this man.

and then there is the man that i married...
the man that makes me laugh even on the days
when i don't think i can...
the guy that convinced my somewhat hardened heart
that we should get a dog again,
even though after putting Hobbes down,
my heart didn't know if it could stand it.
the sweetest, funniest, smartest dad to our two offspring...
he jokes, he roars, he teases, he listens...he loves.

and i love him with a love that cannot be explained in words...
