Happy Birthday Dad

I am extremely lucky and blessed to be able to say that I have had my dad with me ever since I was born. I have no idea where I would be with out all the love and support I get from him. I know everyone feels ( & in their eyes and own experience, they are correct) like they have the best dad in the world, but I truly believe that I can honestly say I would like to be just like my dad later in life when I have my own kids. The way he shows love might be a little different than the normal, since the seriousness he always has in his expressions rubs off on me, I know and feel the deep love he has for us. I have actually seen him sacrifice his own meals so that we can eat. Sacrifice his own pleasures and luxuries to give us something that we might want. And he has worked extremely hard to make sure we have everything that we need. I really hope one day I can be a great father like he has been to us. I know I would do anything for certain people, and my kids will definitely be part of that group as well. When I was younger, I kept thinking to myself that I did not want to be that "old" dad, but seeing my dad and his age, I would definitely not mind that. Even though my dad is not old old, he has reached his mid 50's now, I am at an age where I will soon start my entire whole adult life and I am glad he will be here to share it and eventually one day, be part of the big family I wish to have. No, not 10 kids haha but I would wish our entire family to be closer than we are. I just want to wish my father a great day, and I know we don't always concur on stuff, but know that I am working hard to provide for you after all these years of you providing for me and my brother. One day, I promise, you will have it all. Happy Birthday again, even though I know you won't read this haha. Many more years to come!
