Today is my dad’s birthday! I won’t mention his age…you know…so he can still feel young and hip! 🙂
My dad is so many things to me! He is my dad (of course), my friend, my son’s papa, my #1 speed dial, my carpenter, my plumber, my electrician, my car technician, my “go to” guy when I have no idea how to fix something, a father to my husband, my babysitter, someone I can count on to know the answer to just about anything (even though I hate to admit it), someone who has given me everything I have ever needed (and most of the things I have ever wanted), someone who I can count on no matter what, someone who loves me even when I am crabby (sometimes), and most importantly someone who has created and shaped the person that I am today.
My dad and I are a lot alike. Neither of us like to admit that, especially in the heat of an argument about who is right…but we are. No getting around it.
I love my dad TONS! He is honestly always willing to lend a hand and help us when we need something done. He has turned into such a great papa to P! We are so thankful for the knowledge and love that my dad has shined on us!
Thanks Mando, I finally made your blog. Sometimes it is nice to hear those things. That is the best Birthday gift of all! I am the thankful one, for having such a wonderful daughter and family! You are a great Mommy and Jeff is a great Daddy. I know that “P” will turn out just as well as both of you did!
Being 58 doesn’t make you feel young, but I can feel my hip! Dad, and also P’s Papa.
… You are crabby sometimes! And … I still love you … sometimes!
You Dad’s comment was too funny 🙂
Happy Birthday to your Dad! It’s so wonderful that you guys have such a great relationship…and he gets to be around for P!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🙂
What a sweet post!! Happy B’day to your dad!! xoxo
What a great tribute to your dad. I was planning on saying how old he was but he beat me to it. The nice thing is that he will always be almost 2 years older than your really good uncle. He is Hip, but lets hope he doesn’t have to replace either on at his age. I only hope that when I am old enough to be a Papa, I have as great of a relationship with my boys.
