for the next sunday goodness that i’m playing catch-up on, i want to honor my dad, since i was in europe for father’s day [don’t worry – we celebrated the weekend before we left so he didn’t go without one!]. he really is the most darling father, and his personality is all his own. i like describing him because it’s easy to do: he has this sense of humor that makes him think of all these outlandish ways to play pranks on people and tell lots of jokes and say the funniest, most random things. he’s very practical-minded, deliberate and thorough in his actions, and very humble. he’s down to earth in that he doesn’t really care about fancy clothes or cars or the latest and greatest technology, but he takes really good care of the things he has. he can fix anything and LOVES to help people and do things just to be nice. he’s affectionate and never too proud to apologize. he’s strong and fit and works hard to keep his body healthy. he’s not afraid of good, hard manly-man work; in fact, he’s not afraid of any type of hard work. he’s so gentle and sweet-spirited and wouldn’t hurt a fly, unless it’s something that comes between him and his loved ones – people or pets – and then it’s full-on protective instinct! he’s loyal and faithful and is a person of lots of integrity. he’s downright sweet. and he’s a man of God, and it shows.
{i love this photo [although i hate the glare there at the top that came about from me taking a picture of a picture], but it’s so sweet because dad is laughing, which he does quite often, and lucky looks like he’s laughing too! at a joke that dad told, no doubt.} ;)
dad, i love you lotsa and am thankful for you every day. xoxo
