today is my dad’s birthday. i was blessed with the best dad ever. ever since i was little i wanted to be like him. i even considered going to law school because i wanted to be just like dad.

he was, and still is, my role model. i have always been my daddy’s little girl. i still remember waking up early at our weekend house in virginia and having him read to me in front of a crackling fire in the living room while my mom and baby brothers slept in.

now, i enjoy the conversations my dad and i have, whether it be on the phone or in person when i’m able to drive up and visit my parents. we have a lot of interests in common, and it’s fun to just talk about things together.

happy birthday, dad. i hope you have many, many more to come. i love you!
