Daddy's Top 20

Happy Father's Day!  Dads, you have the most important job in the world and one that our society today is trying to down play and convince you isn't as important as it seems.  Yes, moms are strong and they can do anything they need to when they have to but no one can ever replace a dad in the life of a child.  His role is the most vital.  So thank you to all the dads that are doing their best at the most important job they will ever have.

I want to honor my dad today because he's best dad of all the dads.  I mean, it's not even a point worth arguing so don't try.  He's just the best.  If you know my dad, I bet you love him too.  He's just so lovable.  I bet you think he's the best too.  Just like with momma's day,  I'm not bragging, I'm blessing.  So here's 20 facts about my dad.  I hope they help you love him just a little bit more.

1. He hates marshmallows.  If you think about it, you've seen him make a s'more but never eat one.
2. He is ambidextrous.  He writes with his right hand but does a lot of other things left handed.
3. He loves to sit outside and look at the stars at night.
4. He taught himself to play the guitar and he can sing very well. #swoon
5. If he could be any TV show character it would be Leroy Jethro Gibbs from NCIS.
6. He one time microwaved my bra so that it would dry faster.  It caught on fire instead.
7. He's a master of breakfast foods.  Pancakes, french toast, eggs, omelettes...he's a pro!
8. He does not have a favorite color. I think that's weird. Don't you?
9. If you go out to eat with him he'll order a large orange juice for breakfast or a cranberry juice and club soda for lunch or dinner.
10. He doesn't drink coffee. But every since he went to Italy's been obsessed with cappuccino.
11. He takes politics very seriously.  Unless you agree with him, I would suggest you don't bring it up.  He can get pretty passionate pretty quickly.
12. He has a Long Island accent.  Certain words sounds like a different language sometimes.
13. He likes sports and he is pretty athletic. People are always impressed at how fast he can run.
14. He takes dunking cookies in milk very seriously.  I remember the day he sat my sister and I down to teach us how to do it properly.
15. He is a prayer warrior.  I can't even count the amount of times I've walked past his room and he was on his knees by his bed praying or the times I've been woken up early in the morning by his whisper prayers just outside my bedroom door before he left for work.
16.  He's really good at math but he's a terrible math teacher.  I cried every time he tried to "teach" me.
17. He likes to travel.  He's been to 7 different countries missions trips and several more on vacation.
18. When I was a baby he wrote me letters for me to open on my 10th and 16th birthdays.  They are some of best birthday cards I've ever received.
19. He has 5 sisters and 1 brother.  Their sisters adore them  Sometimes it's cute.  They are pretty adorable.
20. The thing I miss most about living with him is eating Oreo's while watching TV at night and talking when we were supposed to be going staying goodnight and going to bed.

I love you my Daddy.  You truly are the best in every sense of the word.  Thank you for all that you've done and all that you do and continue to do.  You are true man of God and an incredible example.  I love you. Always.

Love,
Sunshine
