I realized today that I posted a Mothers Day post in honor of my mom. By the time Fathers Day rolled around, it was 3 weeks until Relay and I got very busy with all things Relay. So, here we are, a month over due, but the following is just a snippet of the many reasons my dad is awesome!
1. He doesn't mind this post is a month overdue. He will love that I still took the time to do it.
2. He has a true servant heart. More often than not, the needs of others come first.
3. When the time calls for it, he steps up to the plate and does what is right.
4. When approaching the aisle at my wedding, emotional and all, he still gave me the opportunity to back out if that is what I wanted.
5. Even today he is willing to answer my barrage of sports related questions.
6. Always the hometown fan. It doesn't matter who is playing, or what the sport, my dad is there to support them.
7. My dad is a purist. The best way to enjoy a game is lying on the couch or bed or in your underwear, watching on tv, but listening to local live coverage on 'CCO
8. After a heart attack at age 49 (followed by surgery) he maintains a good balance between doing what the doctors say and making life worth living.
9. There is quite the lesson in work ethics from watching him. If they offer OT, you take it. Work hard and always give your best.
10. There are many things that can and should be done, but always make time to Golf.
11. Family is very important. Take the time to harass them and make sure they know you care.
12. Let someone else handle the finances, it makes you much happier in the long run.
13. If you don't have the money in your pocket, do you really need it?
I love you dad. Happy Fathers Day, a bit late.

I loved meeting your dad the other day. I'll add that I think it's great that both he and your mom support you in events like the relay, by fundraising or cheering you and nick on. That's great.
