In memory of my dad & Dr. Seuss
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! Today, normally, my dad would have his kids write a book using Dr. Seuss' way of writing. There were some funny ones written over the years. I would write one for him, but I'm not being very creative today, so I'll just share some of his favorites.

His other favorites include "Horton hears a Who" and "Daisy-head Mayzise." He always enjoyed today and I am sure that his kids miss reading and writing those books today. I know that I miss them.
Dad,
I love you and miss you!
Love always,
Your baby girl
