HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! He probably wouldn’t want me to publically disclose his age, so I won’t.

Today is my Daddy’s birthday. Yes, I still actually do call him ‘Daddy’. Don’t know why – there’s just something comforting about the way that roles off my tongue.

My dad is amazing. Seriously, I know that most kids think their dad is pretty damn cool (one likes to think so, anyway) but yeah. I think my one wins the coolness badge of honor. There is so much that he did for us as we were growing up, stuff that I am thankful every single day. Without him, I wouldn’t be the woman I am today. He shaped my past, and taught me how to shape my future.
