Me and My Pa

There comes a time in every person's life when they must step back and look at the progress they've made in life--look at how far they have come and who has helped them get there. I think it only appropriate on this Father's Day to reflect on how much I love my family and how homesick I am (in attempts to invoke some sympathy and possibly get a care-package...j/k).

Although I may cringe at times when someone uses the saying "like father like daughter" in reference to myself, I've come to realize that it wouldn't really be that bad if I turned out like my dad. Okay, so his sense of humor may be somewhat lacking in the "funny" category, but besides that he's a great guy. :D

He's pretty much made me who I am...I mean, I did get half of me genes from him. Maybe that's even a compliment to him since I've turned out so great! (or at least I like to pretend I have) But in all honesty, my father is one of my heroes. His hard-working attitude and faithfulness is an example to me and does not go unnoticed. And even though I may act annoyed when he nags at me to get something done, I know he only does it because he cares about me and wants the best for me.

From the beginning...

To the present...He as always been there for me.

So, to wrap it all up, I really do hope I turn out like my pops. Well, you know, minus the graying hair and receding hairline...and hopefully I can come up with better jokes. But besides that...
