Dad's Big Day

I thought I would write a bit about my dad, with his birthday passing and him not getting a special page to himself, I can already hear in my head, "Kiligirl, why everyone get one page and I don't. You know, I am your father. I should get one page too." The sad thing for most of you, is you don't get to hear it in your head with the wonderful accent that I have been privy to for all of my 28 years. (Although, some of you have perfected it and can now use it.)
My Dad is a great guy. He would give me the shirt of his back *tears are know welling up in my eyes*, if he had a shirt on. He would ask me if I had money and then give me some, even though I had a better paying job than he does (true story). He drove down to my high school, the day I planned on skipping, and scraped the snow and ice off my car before I had to drive home. He would drive me back to college and get pulled over by a cop for having a headlight out and not getting it fixed. He would fly to where ever I needed him to be, to be apart of my "big" life moments. He would have our family move, so I would learn how to make friends and be flexible. He would let me throw up on him as the plane descended, after I continued to eat tons of junk at a funeral he and I attended. He would say things to make me laugh, even when he didn't know what he was doing. He would let me live in his house and do as I please until I saved enough money to get my own place. He would yell at me when I forgot to pick up his sister after her shift at work, but not care about the fact that I did pick up Mom on time that same day. He would make me give a two year notice for moving out of his house, and then when my two years are up tell me he was denying my moving out and tell me that I would have to stay longer. He would play cards with my mom and I to humor us, and yet he didn't mind when he loses. He does all these wonderful things for me and sometimes I forget to thank him *more tears* for being the best daddy boy in my life and really ever. You too should meet this man!
