I had a hard time deciding on a birthday gift. What do you get someone who has all they need? So, I reverted to childhood and made him a gift to frame for his office. :) Here it is!
Happy Birthday, Dad! February 2012
Though I’ll never be a poet,
(Yes, I do know it),
I started thinking of all the reasons I had
For being thankful that you are my dad.
I realized quickly that the number was high,
And that, as far as dads go, you’re a pretty swell guy.
This list isn’t complete, but contains some of the best
Memories with which I have been richly blessed!
THANK YOU FOR:
v Baseball games with the Shreveport Captains
v My first set of major league baseball tickets
v Helping solve 100s of Friday’s brain puzzles for Gateway
v Teaching me to work hard, be on time, and never quit
v Pushing me to do my best, no matter what
v Skipping rocks, kicking sticks, and crawfish hunting
v Coming to every event, even when you were needed at work
v Letting me buy the wedding dress of my dreams!
v Shopping with me for my first car
v Shaving cream fights in the backyard on Sophia
v Treasure hunts for birthdays – a group of witches is a coven!
v Bailing me out when I locked my keys in the RUNNING car!
v Shoney’s before & ice cream at McD’s after Miss Louisiana
v Teaching me to ride a bike…even if I couldn’t use the brakes!
v Camping trips in floods and THE CLIMB
v Interviewing my friends before a college road trip
v All-you-can-eat crawfish dinners
v Loving my mom for so many years
