A few random bits about my dad...
*As a kid, if I really, reaLLY, REALLY wanted to do something & I had a choice to ask mom or dad, I asked dad.
*I love hanging out with my dad. He is so silly. And goofy. And when he laughs really hard: It. Is. The. Best.
*I once tricked my dad into eating dog jerky. He liked it & would've eaten the whole stick if I hadn't been keeled over bursting with laughter.
*My dad has a tattoo on his right shoulder of the Playboy bunny. As a kid, I used to take a marker & trace a bunny body on it.
*After mom tucked me, my bro & sis into our beds, dad always had a nightly routine: after getting all squeaky clean in the tub, he'd come in our rooms & shake his wet hair on us.
*Our family went on a vacation to Disney World when I was 7. I caught my dad sneaking money INTO the wallets of his wee kidlets. 
*When I see cozy, comfy, long-sleeved, plaid, buttoned-up, collared, flannel shirts, I think of my dad.

*I think, when I was a kid, if dad had his way we'd have food fights every night for dinner. Mom kept it real.
*My dad & I took a backpacking trip when I was 17. Just he & I. Great memories. I made my dad a journal/photo-book filled with sketches & diary entries from our trip. It's the most favorite thing I've ever made.

Dad, I really think I'm the luckiest girl in the whole universe.
Everything a good heart in this world should have, you have given me.
I love you!!
I loved reading this:)

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tribute for your dad! I loved it!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm really late and all, but I'm catching up. Been hectic.
ReplyDeleteI just have to say that when you talk about your Dad it makes me cry, in a good way.
This may sound weird. It seems weird bouncing around in my head.
My Dad was never around...like ever...I went 8 years (8-16) without knowing if he was alive or dead, but somehow it seems okay when I read about a dad like yours.
Always there. Making memories for all of us.
Way to go for your Dad. He rocks.
I can't imagine. I have some good memories; but not that style.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you blame for teenage angst??
