#1 Daughter to #1 Daddy

Wanted to say Happy Father's Day to my wonderful dad. I have so many memories of him over the years. He bought me my first doll (Strawberry Shortcake) and let me sing my lungs out while riding in my car seat (to which he attributes my current stint in the 2ndEleven band). He taught me how to ride a bike and how to swim. Later he taught me how to drive and gave me "special" speed limits. He let me go to London for a semester and slept poorly the entire time. He's moved me from place to place over the years...and then rearranged my current house at least three times. He reminded me that men say stupid things sometimes and we have to forgive them (this was after a huge blowup with Barron, prior to our dating...say what!?!?! Who's dad are you, anyway!?). And then he gave me away this February (sometimes I think gladly! haha!) at a beautiful wedding. We have many more memories to make, God willing, but I have been so blessed to have such a wonderful Dad. I love you, Daddy!

This post made me tear up. Beautiful! I think you both are very lucky...Frank raised a gorgeous (both inside and out) daughter, and you got a very special dad. Couldn't have one without the other!

I love the picture of Frank in Forrest's jersey. LOL. :)
