The Best Dad Ever!

My dad is the best dad ever because:

He didn't want me to be named after Kelly Tires...:)

He didn't get mad at me when I bopped him in the nose after his surgery. :)

He gave us our baths and stood us up on the toilet to make sure we were competely dried off, then built a fire in the fireplace to warm us up. :)

He taught me how to ride my bike :)

He took us on countless bike rides and made sure our pants didn't get caught in the chain by placing rubber bands around the bottoms. :)

He let me hammer nails into scrap wood in the garage :)

He met us for lunch at Geenfield Village in the summertime :)

He prayed with me when I got saved :)

He played countless games of SORRY! and MONOPOLY with us :)

He read countless Berestein Bears books with me :)

He took me out fishing everytime I asked. :)

He let me shift the gears while he drove the Mercury Linx station wagon :)

He drove us safely to our vacation destinations. :)

He drove up to UPBC from Boyne to "Rescue" Karen from JV Camp. :)

He came home from work and called my mom his "special lady" and then embraced her and kissed her. :) We were his "special girls" :)

There are so many more but

He is the BEST because he is Gentle, Kind, Loving, Thoughtful, Generous, Hard-working and always put our family -time first after working long days at Ford.

I love you Dad!!
