father's day

I just celebrated Father's Day with my family. Since my mom and three younger sisters are going to visit my grandparents in Nebraska we decided to have it early this year. My two older little sisters and I bought our dad the movie Frequency and watched it with him. Our youngest sister, Julie who is six, made him a picture frame. It was very cute. I love my dad, but there are a few things that especially stand out to me.

- He genuinely wants to do what's right in God's eyes.

- He's always let us know he loves us and is not at all sorry that he has four girls and no boys. (Actually he doesn't have much patience for boys.)

- He is a dreamer, I always remember him looking ahead at the future hopefully even when we barely had enough money for food.

- Dad is level-headed and easily reasoned with, but not unfeeling.

- He likes to do stuff like go on hikes, long drives down endless roads, fish, bike, snowmobile...

- There is nothing he can't fix. One of my friends said he could build a snowmobile out of a toaster. (Difficult but probably true.)

I want to be like my dad in all these areas. Hopefully...
But the last one I may not quite reach. ;)
