Slice of Life March Challenge #11

I was organizing and rummaging through old pictures today and came across this.  The third-grade version of myself wrote this about why my dad was the best...

I must have been pretty wise at the ripe old age of eight because this describes my dad to a T.

Because it's my dad's birthday today, here's my twenty-something year old version of why my dad's the best...

My dad is...
Always there, always listening, always caring, always encouraging,
Always watching, always cheering, always guiding, always teaching, 
Always selfless, always gentle, always patient, always proud,
Always the person I hope I can be just like, someday soon

Thanks Dad, for everything.  Happy birthday.
