To Dad...

Thank you for all the things you've shown us, the things left to share. For lifting us, pushing us forward, and brushing us off - replacing the dirt with the courage to keep trying. For always being beside us with a helping hand, and knowing when it was time to step back so we could figure it out on our own. Thank you for being a guide, a role model, a friend.  To all the dads out there showing our future how to live life right, this is for you.

Happy Father's Day!
