Happy Father's Day

Growing up there was always times that we didn't get along.  Times I did things to make him mad, times that he did things to make me mad too!  Both hardheaded, very opinionated, and we both speak our minds.  But I've learned that he only wanted (and still does) the best for me.  Since I've gotten married and moved out, I've realized how much more I enjoy Dad.  He is the funniest person I've ever meet.  Most probably because he speaks freely and without a filter.  He might seem hard but he has a HUGE heart and is a great man.  My dad has been through so much in his life and it all has only made him stronger, which in turn has made me stronger.  Together he and Mom have raised me with a good head on my shoulders.  Sorry we didn't get to spend time together today, I love you Dad!  Happy Father's Day!
