He’s da man!

~ Today is my Dad’s birthday so this blog post is dedicated to him...I love you Dad!!! ~

“Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a Dad.” – Author Unknown

I’m a lucky girl to have such an amazing Dad! We laugh together, cook together (tortières!), bowl together (once a year for my birthday...yes, that’s my birthday tradition!), eat together (as a family!), go to the Chinese restaurant together (moo goo guy pan anyone?), watch TV together  (watched my first episode of Family Guy with my Dad!) or just sit in silence together. This summer, we even started golfing together (I figured if I wanted to spend quality time with my dad, I'd have to join him on the golf course...his second home!). My dad is a great teacher and coach who has always been there for me and who inspires me every day to be the best that I can be! I hope he knows how much he means to me!!!

Here`s a birthday card poem I copied from a website (don`t worry, I give credit to the “poet”):

Dad,
Every year, your birthday reminds me
how grateful I am that you are my father.
With all that’s going on in the world today,
I’m thankful I get to watch you,
to look up to you, being an example of a good man.
What a privilege it is to observe your strength,
your competence, and your kindness.
I am so blessed to be under your wing,
your protection, your care,
learning important life lessons from you.
If all fathers were like you,
the world would be a very different
and much better place.
Happy Birthday Dad,
from your admiring daughter.

P.S. Don’t forget to let the people who mean something to you know how much you care!

P.P.S. We celebrated my Dad's birthday last night and I had a piece of chocolate cake.

P.P.P.S. My cake diet is going great :)
