i appreciate him more than one day a year. yep.
If you’ve been reading my blog for very long, you know that I have a great father. A father I love. A father who sets a standard in my life.
Also? He has nice socks.
I’ve written about him quite a bit. Here are some examples:
He takes nice pictures. Oh, and here.
He’s a savvy shopper.
He uses modern forms of communication. Oh, and here.
He’s the best dad ever.
My family has never been overinvolved in holidays or occasions beyond Christmas (that’s when we go bajiggity.) I mean, we do birthdays, we do Mother’s and Father’s days, but they’re not the be-all, end-all of our efforts to appreciate one another.
We appreciate one another randomly. In random ways. As it comes up.
We’re random like that.
You know?
But since I have a blog, and since y’all are listening:
I love my dad more than I can express to you, or to him.
He has given me a solid understanding of so many things that I can’t count them all.
Even when we disagree about stuff, he extends me grace and does his best not to go, “WHAT??”
He is devoted, wise, gracious, funny, loving and cool.
So Happy Father’s Day, Father.
Kudos.

Hey Meg.
Your dad has a wonderful eye, a great sense of perspective, a nose for color, and a devoted daughter with a ton of love.
My son, Rhys, put his head on my shoulder and whispered that “You are the best dad in the world. I love you.”
My life is totally complete.
I bet your dad feels similarly.
Happy daughters’ day.
