Happy Father's Day, Dad
Why I love my dad:
1. He cries at every wedding, every time he hears the National Anthem, every time he watches Father of the Bride, and the first time he saw me in The Sound of Music as Maria.
2. He's got all the right answers. When I was trying to make some college decisions, I asked him late one night, "Dad, should I be an actress," and without hesitation, he said, "Yes."
3. He's a great role model for me and my friends. He takes a cooler of Shiners to any event that just maybe won't have beer (even if they have wine or some other alcoholic beverage).
4. He makes me feel that it's more than ok to let loose a huge belch. We respect each other that way.
5. He's got a baby face that I don't think will ever look old and a white man's fro.
6. He's the main source of fun at family gatherings. He plays campfire songs and everyone sings along for hours, he heads up poker every night, he makes the little babies cry until they kiss him, and he makes fun of any new love interest in the family until they feel at home.
7. My friends and I have on occasion drunk-dialed him, and he's totally cool with it. He buys beer for my friends and me when he visits and then drinks them under the table.
8. He makes me think. Usually by asking irritating and uncomfortable questions, but the more annoying the questions are, the smarter I have to be when I answer him...
9. He loves Mom.
10. He loves us, and I think we turned out alright... so far... I think, yes?
Anyway, he's a pretty swingin cat, and I love him.
