three letter word for hilarious? dad.

"he didn't tell me how to live. he lived, and let me watch him do it."
-clarence budington kelland

why MY dad is the best.

he is the hardest working person i know.
he will forever see me as his baby girl, which makes it that much easier to get him to give in to what i want :)
he loves my mom.
he introduced me to the eagles, chicago and elton john.
his love for the gospel.
he thinks he can grow a beard.
his sense of humor. i admit it, he is pretty funny sometimes.
he can fix almost anything.
he'll tell you exactly what he thinks about something, but usually not until you ask him for his opinion.
he is a good listener (though he may have been forced into this with the three daughters thing).
he would do anything for his kids.
he will fall asleep on the couch and we can make a ton of noise and he will just sleep, but the second we try to take the remote he is up.
he is always willing to serve.
he taught us kids how to work (though he'll tell you we still don't know the meaning of the word).
he has lost a lot of sleep over the years, but doesn't complain about it.
he is always there, no matter what. we can always go to him if we need something.

i love my dad. all of us look up to him and we all have to talk to him before making decisions because we know he'll be honest with us. i really hope i marry someone like him.

happy fathers day, dad. i love you :)

You're right Cass! He is both hilarious and the best! And I'm still crazy about him.
