We
love you…
For your loyalty and dedication to us,
your friends, and your work.
For always making us laugh.
For the special way you spoke to us – “thing and thang,”
“whaaaaatttaaa donkey!” “doesn’t have anything
to do with the price of cheese.”
Because you were the only one who knew how to tease Mommy when she
was already in a bad mood and get away with it.
Because even after all these years, you were still able to lift
us by our pants to place the angel on the Christmas tree.
For always enjoying the countless softball, basketball, soccer,
football, swimming, track, dance recitals, and lacrosse games. We
especially enjoyed the “critique” that followed in the
car ride home.
For the loving way you woke us in the morning – “feet
on floor,” “it ain’t noon yet”
For never getting tired of watching the same movies again and again
in your favorite chair.
Because of your willingness to clean up… especially when other
people were around.
For your appreciation of “one more drink.”
And the list could go on forever…
You’ve always been our hero –
and we’re now learning how many other people feel the same
way. We love you, Daddy.
Leni, Coledew, and Tick
