Here's Looking At You, Dad!

Thank you for my sense of humor
Thank you for my wit
Thank you for my wide, flat feet
And for jokes that never quit.

Thank you for your comments
For telling me you love my blog
For telling me at age twelve that
I ate too much pizza and was a hog. (Remember Mr. Ghatti's?)

Thank you for your honesty
For surprises you continue to send
Thanks for all the swim meets and dance recitals
That you probably didn't want to attend.

Thank you for your wisdom
For letting me try your whiskey drink
For the letters and e-mails you write me
For your life stories that make me think.

Thanks for calling me "Mandy Pandy"
For naming me your "Little Bit"
Thanks for putting up with my sarcasm
For pushing me to be more fit.

Thanks for looking at me for who I am
For loving me more as I grow
For being such a great "Buddy" to Vivian
You're the best dad and grandpa I know.



I love you! Happy Birthday!
