for 3.5 years he played mom and dad.

(that explains my eating habits and general appearance)

he taught me that my name is special.

from him, i learned that other people are more important than you sometimes.

he has lost so many of those that he loved.

he still cries for her.

but he loves mom now, in his own way.

his laugh carries for miles.

he loves the sun more than any human.

he'll always find ways to make life fun, even when it sucks.

my dad believes in jelly bellies.

if he were my age now, he'd be my friend.

he's so hipster, that he was one 45 years ago.

the beatles are his one true love.

my dad is the only member of my family that i think i can say that i love.

he is one of literally a handful of people i can count on, and talk to.

a big part of who i am is because of him.

thanks daddy.
