For my dear dad

My dad has never been a man of many words.  He might tell you it's because my mom and I talk so much when we're together that he rarely gets a chance to get a word in, but I think it's because he's wise, and knows that heartfelt actions speak volumes more than words ever could.

Happy Father's Day, Dad.  You are such a warm, kind, helpful, and devoted father who has always known all the best ways to make me feel secure and loved.  For all the times you've carried me on your shoulders, held my hand, and showed me by example how to stand proudly on my own two feet, I love you.  I hope you know just how much those three simple words mean.  xoxo


Thanks to my mom for all of the old photos.  What wonderful memories!  :)
