Well, once again I have been a slacker when it comes to gifts for my dad. His birthday is June 2, and today is Father's Day and both days he is ending up without gifts from me. Whoops, sorry dad. I guess this just means that I will need to find something really amazing for him while he is here in Germany visiting in a couple of weeks. But, Dad always says that calling him is the best gift, so I guess maybe I will just call him. ;)
Today I have thinking about my dad. I feel very fortunate to have such a loving and caring father. Someone who I can call and talk to anytime, someone who will always be there for me. My dad calls me a lot in the evenings (which is morning for him) while he is driving from farm to farm, and usually it is just to chat. I really appreciate that he thinks of me and calls. I also appreciate his listening ear and great advice.
I appreciate that my Dad brought my brother, sister and I up in a God-centered home. I loved that we ate dinner together around the kitchen table every night. I love that he was always there at every sporting event, I always knew that if I looked out in the crowd mom or dad were going to be there.
I love my Dad and thank God for him. Kyle and I hope that one day we can be as great parents as mine for been for me.
Oh yes...I discovered that my dad and I need to have a real picture taken of the two of us. The one of just the two of us was taken at Christmas, we stole my sisters camera and wanted to take a silly pictures of ourselves. The other one was taken before Kyle and I moved to Germany and was taken by a 4 year old, Ezra.

I guess my comment that I made on the blog didn't make it . . . I said there was nothing you could sent your Dad that would mean more to him than what you said to him. It meant an a lot to Grandma and me too Thanks for making us all cry! Love ya mom
